Embrace our ICARE values in a unique way with VA Police

VA Police officers serve as an active federal police force in and around our facilities. Despite working outside the typical clinical duties performed at VA facilities, VA Police are an integral and unique part of the care we provide Veterans.

"VA Police is very unique. We have a model of policing that they ingrain from when you go into the academy," said Maj. Mark Moran, a senior physical security specialist who works in the New Jersey VA Healthcare System. "The model is to demonstrate the core values of the agency, and to act that way toward Veterans. That's the ICARE model."

These core values-integrity, commitment, advocacy, respect, and excellence-define how everyone at VA, including VA Police officers, fulfill our mission to care for Veterans. These 5 ideals describe our culture and serve as the foundation for the way we interact with both our Veterans and our fellow employees.

"It's being committed," Moran explained, "and knowing that you're coming here to serve Veterans, to make their lives better, however we can, while working as a law enforcement officer at VA."
