The Student Affairs Division is responsible for the
University's environment, providing a positive milieu
for faculty, administrators, and staff, so that students
can learn.
The
University Police Department is a pro-active professional
police agency dedicated to providing a safe environment
for our campus community. We operate a progressive
community policing plan with our budgeted
sworn complement of 38 officers. We expanded our
traffic enforcement program to the entire area adjacent
to the campus with particular focus on 19th/Holloway
Avenue and Font Boulevard/Lake Merced Boulevard at the
entrance to Lots 19 and 20. The University Police Department
consists of a group of dedicated professionals who strive
to serve the academic environment and do it with pride.
In
addition to the normal assignments within the department,
all police officers participate in specialized assignments
and programs so that they can better serve the campus.
The University Police dispatchers staff the dispatch center twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Their duties include: answering all University Police general and emergency phone lines, providing information to the public, dispatching officers to calls for service or crimes in progress, monitor all campus fire and safety alarms, inputting data into the Police Automated Records and Management System, inputting data into the California Law Enforcement Teletype System, logging of crime reports, and assisting visitors at the University Police counter. The dispatchers clearly have multiple roles, especially during emergencies, where they serve as a critical part of our operation.
All of the dispatchers have attended a Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) Dispatcher School.
