The California State University police departments (CSUPD) (known within the California State University system as the Cal State Police or University Police) are the police departments of the California State University system. Their police officers are duly sworn peace officers of the State of California, as established by section 830.2(c) of the California Penal Code.[1] There are a total of 23 campuses in the California State University system, each with their own police department. Each campus' police department has its own chain of command; however, some of the policies are system-wide.[2]

| General nature | |
Unlike other police departments in the state, there is no single chief of the CSUPD; however there is a central council of chiefs. The council is responsible for ensuring that the various departments are operating within the CSUPD mission. However, the council does not dictate the day-to-day operations of the department, and each department sets its own Standard Operating Policies.
When situations arise on a campus that require more police than the individual department can handle, other CSU police departments can send mutual aid officers to help.
Authority and jurisdiction[citation needed] edit
The CSUPD is one of several police agencies in California having statewide jurisdiction and authority (other examples include the California Highway Patrol, the University of California Police Department, and the California Department of Fish and Game). CSUPD officers, like most California police officers, are empowered by section 830.2(c) of the California Penal Code, giving them authority as duly sworn peace officers throughout the state of California.[citation needed] As specified by Section 89560 of the California Education Code, their primary jurisdiction extends to the campuses and properties owned by the trustees of the California State University, as well as lands within a one-mile (1.6 km) radius of those campuses.[citation needed]
Almost all of the campuses operate a Community Service Officer (CSO) program, which employs non-sworn students to perform tasks such as building checks and night escorts. Most of the departments also conduct bicycle registrations, "Live Scan" fingerprinting, and lost and found. Additionally, it is possible to have non-moving vehicle citations ("fix-it tickets") signed off at these departments.[citation needed]
Specialized divisions edit
In addition to CSO programs, CSUPD departments each have a Communications Division, which is the police dispatch center and the 9-1-1 access point for each CSU campus. Each department also staffs a Detective Division to investigate crimes and other cases reported by citizens and the patrol officers.
In addition to these standard police bureaus, several CSUPD departments also staff more specialized police and public safety units. These include: Critical Response Units (CRU), K9 Bomb Squad Units, Crime Prevention Units, Dignitary Protection Units, Mental Health Evaluation Teams (MET), Gang Intelligence Unit, Orange County Regional SWAT team and others.
In 1990, the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act became federal law. This law requires all universities to compile and publish data describing the reported crimes that occurred on campus. The data for specific campuses can be found on the websites listed at the end of this article.
