The primary jurisdication of the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ University Police Department is on all University property anda one mile radius surrounding all campus property as indicated in the ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñEducation Code section 89560.
Bike Patrol:
Why do we have bicycle patrol units?
- Allows for more personal interaction between officers and the campus community
- Bicycles allow patrol of areas that are not easily accessible by car
- Carbon emissions caused by patrol vehicles are reduced
- General wear and tear on department vehicles is reduced
- Our officers' physical conditioning is improved
Community Policing Model:
Community Policing is a philosophical shift in the way police departments interact with the communities they serve. Moving away from reactive policing, community policing stresses the prevention of crime before it occurs. This is accomplished by nurturing community-police relationships on a daily basis and brainstorming new ways to address problems before they have a chance to escalate.
