Patrol Operations

The University Police Department is a professionally trained police department established pursuant to Section 89560 of the Education Code to provide safety, security, and enforcement services for CSUEB and the surrounding community.

The University Police Officers are sworn Police Officers as established by Section 830.2(d) of the California Penal Code, with the same responsibilities and enforcement powers as any other Peace Officer in the State of California. Our Officers are required to satisfy the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) requirements, and attend a POST certified Police Academy to receive basic training as well as periodic POST refresher courses.

California State University Police Officers patrol on foot, bicycle and in vehicles providing safety, security, and enforcement services. Officers respond to emergencies and disasters, investigate criminal, traffic, medical, and fire incidents, mediate complaints, arrest offenders, appear in court, facilitate use of traffic systems, preserve order at major events or assemblies, engage in community oriented policing and problem solving outreach, and safeguard the custody and disposal of found property and evidence
