Think of us when you think of security
Beyond crime prevention and law enforcement, providing safety and security services to UC Santa Cruz is an important part of the Police Department’s responsibilities.
Services such as lost and found, building alarm systems, event security and staff background checks are basic, but critical, ways the UC Santa Cruz Police Department helps make the campus safer.
Continuous improvement and customer service
The UC Santa Cruz Police Department strives for continuous improvement in everything we do. We now seek to understanding student, staff and academic satisfaction with the services we provide them as our customers. We have been ranked highly in the Academic and Staff Satisfaction Survey, where we received positive feedback regarding response time and friendly staff.
The UC Santa Cruz Police Department is also seeking accreditation from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA). In addition to ensuring our policies adhere to current best practices, this accreditation requires us to commit to a process of continuous self-assessment of our services to the community.
