Police Services

The Police Department is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The department encourages prompt reporting of all crimes, potential criminal actions, and other emergencies on campus, either in person or by calling 911 or 805-437-8444 from any telephone.

CSU Channel Islands police officers are commissioned, sworn peace officers with full enforcement authority throughout the state. Officers are responsible for reporting and investigating crimes and traffic accidents, responding to medical emergencies, enforcing laws and local ordinances, and all other incidents requiring police assistance. Criminal cases are forwarded to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office for prosecution. Police officers provide 24-hour patrol of the campus and surrounding neighborhood on foot, in vehicles, and on bicycles. Most police officers are also certified emergency medical technicians (EMT-1) and are the first responders to all medical emergencies.

The University Police Department (UPD) provides walking safety escorts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you feel unsafe walking on campus contact our Police Communications Center at 805-437-8444 to request a safety escort. A UPD staff member will be dispatched to walk with you from one location to another on the CSUCI campus.

More programs available include:

  • Rape Aggression Defense (RAD)
  • Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention
  • Alcohol/Drug Awareness/Anti-Drunk Driving Workshops
  • Personal Safety Awareness

Department personnel work closely with other departments on campus such as Housing & Residential Education, Student Health Services, and Counseling & Psychological Services in a collaborative approach to educating the campus community on such issues as alcohol and drug abuse, drinking and driving, sexual assault, domestic violence, and cyber safety.
