Here at UC Santa Cruz, our alarm monitoring systems are observed by the UCSC Police Department Dispatch Center. This local and centralized unit on campus provides for immediate response to locations around the campus rather than reporting to a vendor outside of US Santa Cruz.

Security alarms are highly reliable and effective for meeting security needs for our campus environment. All alarms on UC Santa Cruz premises must be registered with the Police Department and clients must make the effort to reduce false alarms from occurring or run the risk of receiving a fine for repeated offenses.
