University of California Police Department
Encyclopedia
The University of California Police Department (UCPD) is the police
agency charged with providing law enforcement to the campuses of the University of California
system.
. In September 1947, the Regents of the University of California established UCPD as a state law-enforcement agency.
, the California State University Police Department
, and the California Department of Fish and Game
). UCPD officers, like most California police officers, are empowered by section 830.2(b) of the California Penal Code
, giving them authority as duly sworn peace officer
s throughout the state of California
. As specified by Section 92600 of the California Education Code, their primary jurisdiction extends to the campuses and properties owned by the Regents of the University of California, as well as lands within a one-mile (1.6 km) radius of those campuses.
. Unlike other police departments in the state, there is no single chief of the UCPD, however one chief is selected as the department's central coordinator (currently Chief Pamela E. Roskowski of UCSF). The coordinator is responsible for compiling crime statistics
from each campus, as required by the Clery Act
, and for ensuring that the various departments are operating within the UCPD's mission. However, the coordinator does not dictate the day-to-day operations of the department, and each department sets its own Standard Operating Policies
.
Still, the UCPD is more coordinated than this organization would suggest. The department shares a central mission and philosophy, including that of community oriented policing. The departments maintain communication with each other and frequently call upon each other for mutual aid
, which is facilitated by a department standard uniform and duty gear (including using the same trunked radio system at all departments, allowing personnel to use their issued radios at any campus).
Almost all of the departments have a Community Service Officer
(CSO) program. CSOs are non-sworn student employees that perform various tasks for the department. Although their job description varies slightly from department to department, most utilize CSOs to perform night escorts, building checks, and general citizen assistance. Because CSOs have no legal authority, their main purpose is to act as additional "eyes and ears" of the department.
Seven of the ten UCPD departments use taser
s (UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, UC Davis, UC Merced). UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Berkeley currently do not intend to purchase Tasers.
In addition to these standard police bureaus, several UCPD departments also staff more specialized police and public safety units. These include: Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Bomb Squad, Crime Prevention units, Special Response Teams, Crime labs, Dignitary Protection units, Negotiation and Entry Teams, and others.
The original UC Police Department started on the Berkeley campus after the First World War. The very first security employees were three watchmen who wore full-length street carmen's coats. They each carried keys, a sidearm, and a flashlight as well as a switch to chase errant dogs from the Greek Theater stage during weekend concerts. In 1925, Captain Walter J. Lee was appointed to lead the UC Berkeley Police Department, which he did for the next thirty plus years. Captain Lee is given credit for the eventual growth and efficiency of the Police Department.
In 1947, The Regents established the University of California Police Department in its own right as a fully constituted police agency with authority based on Sections 20221 and 20222 of the State Education Code. By 1959, UCB Police consisted of about twenty-two sworn personnel, whose duties had been generally construed as "Big Brothers" to students needing guidance. There was a heavy emphasis on personal service and one-on-one contact with the campus community. Panty raids were considered to be a major student disturbance.
Captain Lee was succeeded by Captain W. W. Wadman. Captain Wadman was the first university staff member in the country who was selected to attend the FBI National Academy. Campus police duties during his tenure included patrolling the campus, enforcing traffic regulations and controlling traffic, investigating reports and complaints, conducting escorts, and policing an assortment of events. Officers usually walked their beats and rarely used cars.
The only communications between dispatchers and officers in the field were staggered hourly call-ins and, at night, the use of the light on top of the Campanile, a regional landmark used to summon officers in emergencies.
In 1959, the State Legislature established the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) to develop minimum standards and requirements for all police officers in the state, thus leading to the development of a fully professional police force.
In the fall of 1964, the Free Speech Movement began in Berkeley, a phenomenon which spread to many other college campuses in the following years. In December 1964, the police arrested 774 people in the Sproul Hall Sit-in, the largest mass arrest
undertaken in the country up to that time. After the Free Speech Movement, there were seven years of frequent, and sometimes violent demonstrations, including draft protests, strikes, bombings of the ROTC building and PG&E Towers, arsons, and street battles.
One of the most notable on-going protests has been about a piece of University property called People's Park. People's Park history is long and appears to be never ending. The University purchased the land in 1967 to build dormitories, but were prevented from building due to protests. Since that time, all efforts to develop the land have continued to be met with resistance from community activists.
On May 1, 1969, William P. Beall, the retired Chief of the City of Berkeley Police Department, became the Chief at UC Berkeley. In addition to his duties at Berkeley, Chief Beall became the first University-wide Coordinator of the nine-campus police department system. Chief Beall oversaw the arduous task of instituting and managing uniform system-wide policies governing recruiting, training, personnel, and performance standards. The nine campus Police Departments continue to work together closely. The Chiefs meet every three months at one of the campuses and often provide mutual aid to each other.
Chief Beall was succeeded by Chief Derry Bowles. Chief Bowles had been the chief of the UC Police Department on the Santa Barbara campus. Chief Bowles led the department through the early 1980s, a time that included massive sit-ins and demonstrations surrounding the University's investments in South Africa.
In 1990, Victoria L. Harrison was selected as Chief of Police. She was the first female police chief in the UC System, and the first in Alameda County (the second largest county in California). She came to the Berkeley campus as a lieutenant, having served the first part of her career on the Santa Barbara campus. Chief Harrison served for 19 years. She led the department through extensive program changes and capital improvements. She retired as an Emeritus employee and received the Berkeley Citation.
On August 1, 2009, Mitchell J. Celaya was sworn in as Chief. He is the first UC Berkeley chief to have started his career with UCPD as a Police Officer at Berkeley, and is the first Latino UC Police Chief. He worked in many assignments as he promoted through the ranks and served as Assistant Chief for Chief Harrison.
Police Department is located in the campus Fire and Police Building, at 625 Kleiber Hall Drive, Davis, CA. (Campus mail address is 1 Shields Ave)
UCDPD also provides emergency dispatching for the UC Davis Fire Department.
The department is chiefly responsible for police activities on the school’s campus and the medical center in Sacramento. The chief of the department is Annette M. Spicuzza.
The department’s officers are armed. Equipment available to them includes handguns, paintball guns used to fire riot-control agents and cans of pepper spray.
The department includes a number of teams and units. The Support Services Division is headed by Captain Joyce Souza. In addition there is an Investigations Unit, a Training Unit, a Recruitment and Hiring Unit, a Communications Center, a Property and Evidence section, a Lost and Found Unit, and a Professional Standards Unit. All of these are based at the department’s police station at Kleiber Hall Drive and Hutchison Drive.
Police Department is located at 410 E. Peltason, Irvine, CA.
Police Department is located at 601 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA.
The department moved into a modern new police station in early 2010. The department is home to both the student Community Service Officer (CSO) program as well as UCLA Emergency Medical Services (UCLA EMS)http://www.ems.ucla.edu. The EMS
program responds to over 1700 9-1-1 medical aid calls on campus, as well as in the surrounding Westwood Village
community. At least one ambulance is in service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All of the employees of UCLA EMS are full-time UCLA students who are EMT
trained.
Police Department is located at 5200 N. Lake Road, Merced, CA.
Police Department is located at 3500 Canyon Crest, Riverside, CA.
Police Department is located at 9500 Gilman Drive #0017, La Jolla, CA. This is located at the intersection of Voigt Drive at Gilman Drive in the Campus Service Complex, Building B.
The campus is made up of over 1200 acres (4.9 km²) and encompasses nearly 3 square miles (7.8 km²). Current enrollment at UCSD is 22,500 undergraduate students, 4,000 graduate students, and 1600 clinical and medical students.
UCSD is made up of six colleges that each have their own housing areas. The interior and exterior of these housing areas are patrolled by 17 Residential Security Officers. Students make up the Community Service Officer program, which provides escorts of students on campus.
Police patrol services are provided 24 hours per day, 365 days per year by seventeen Police Officers and Corporals assigned to the Patrol Division. The Investigations unit is composed of three Detectives and one Detective Sergeant that are assigned to investigate crimes that occur on the UCSD campus.
Police Department headquarters is located at 1855 Folsom St., San Francisco, CA. The UCSF Police Department is a service-oriented organization charged with providing the very best public safety services to the campus community using a collaborative community-policing model and philosophy. Police patrol services are provided 24 hours-per day, everyday at all San Francisco and San Mateo County sites. All sworn officers have full police powers statewide, with primary jurisdiction on property owned, operated, or controlled by UCSF and are responsible for all related aspects of law enforcement services and criminal investigation. UCSF Police Officers are responsible for the detection and suppression of all criminal activities related to the UCSF campus in California. The UCSF Police Department is the only University of California Police Department to receive the prestigious "CALEA" (Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies) accreditation.
The Field Services Division operates from two sub-stations located at the Parnassus and Mission Bay Campuses and is responsible for uniformed patrol, traffic enforcement and investigation, response to dispatched calls for service, preliminary criminal case investigation, special event management and specialized field operations.
The Information Services Division includes the 911 Emergency Communications Center (ECC), which plays a vital role in providing quality services to the Campus and law enforcement affiliates in the community and provides a full range of services including dispatching police, answering 911 calls originating from UCSF facilities, monitoring fire and intrusion alarms. The ECC is the focal point of all police field communication and links the University with other emergency public agencies. The ECC has 10 full-time Public Safety Dispatchers, certified by the state of California's Commission of Peace Officer Standards / Training. The Investigations Unit conducts investigations on all reported major crimes. They also maintain investigative liaisons with other law enforcement agencies and develop crime analysis information to assist in effective patrol operations and to better inform the community of crime matters. The Investigations Unit manages a myriad of criminal cases each year ranging from sexual assault and robbery to embezzlement and fraud. IT Support, Property and Evidence Management and Fleet Management are also responsibilities of this Division.
The Security Services Division provides on-site security protection services at designated sites, manages the WeID Access Control Program, conducts security surveys and new development plan review, coordinates approval of new security devices with the Capital Projects and Facilities Management organization, manages the LiveScan Fingerprinting and Security Clearance process, and troubleshoots security issues on behalf of the UCSF enterprise.
The UCSF Police Department is different from the nine other UC Campuses, in that it does not have one main centralized campus. UCSF has two main primary campuses, but also patrols over 70 different properties within the city, as well as properties in Daly City and the city of South San Francisco.
Police Department is located at 1201 Public Safety Building, Santa Barbara, CA.
In addition to having a CSO program, the UCSB police department operates the UCSB Paramedic Rescue Unit. The EMS
program responds to 9-1-1 medical calls on campus, as well as in the surrounding Isla Vista
community, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The student employees are EMT
trained, and the non-students are paramedic
trained. In Santa Barbara County
, this allows the ambulance to be considered an ALS
provider. The program utilizes a type III ambulance
. EMS services through the UCPD Rescue were discontinued in July, 2011 and Santa Barbara County Fire Department added an Advanced Life Support ambulance as well as additional Firefighter- Paramedic staffing to Fire Station 17, which is attached to the Police Department and formerly housed both SBCo. FD personnel as well as UCSB Rescue. This new service provides the primary medical response and transport to all 9-1-1 calls on campus, and transports from Isla Vista are shared with American Medical Response, a private for-profit paramedic ambulance company which serves Goleta and the rest of Santa Barbara County. Student EMT's continue to staff along-side Firefighter- Paramedics on the ambulance as SBCo.FD Interns.
Police Department is located at Barn H, 1156 High St., Santa Cruz, CA.

UCPD, Berkeley
The University of California was founded in 1868, shortly after California became a state. The university moved to the present site in Berkeley in 1873 with 191 students and 20 faculty members. Other campuses were added over time, resulting in a system which includes ten campuses spread out from San Francisco to San Diego. The university also manages four national laboratories and is affiliated with the Hastings School of Law in San Francisco and the San Francisco Art Institute. Now, the University of California, Berkeley, alone, has about 31,000 students, 1,600 full-time faculty members, and 11,000 staff members.The original UC Police Department started on the Berkeley campus after the First World War. The very first security employees were three watchmen who wore full-length street carmen's coats. They each carried keys, a sidearm, and a flashlight as well as a switch to chase errant dogs from the Greek Theater stage during weekend concerts. In 1925, Captain Walter J. Lee was appointed to lead the UC Berkeley Police Department, which he did for the next thirty plus years. Captain Lee is given credit for the eventual growth and efficiency of the Police Department.
In 1947, The Regents established the University of California Police Department in its own right as a fully constituted police agency with authority based on Sections 20221 and 20222 of the State Education Code.
