State University police officers are vested with the same powers and responsibilities of other police officers within the state of California. Their authority is granted through legislative action defined in the California Education and Penal Codes. University police officers meet the California Peace Officer’s Standards and Training Commission requirements, which are mandated for all California law enforcement officers, and have full arrest authority. All University police officers are trained in the use of weapons and carry them on campus.

University Police is responsible for reporting and investigating all crimes occurring on campus. Their jurisdiction covers all property owned and operated by the university, including adjacent public streets and property.

In partnership with the Los Angeles County School District, a University Police School Resource Officer (SRO) is assigned to International Polytechnic High School (I-Poly), which is located on the campus. The SRO position is funded by a U.S. Department of Justice COPS In Schools grant.

In addition to providing law enforcement and police services, University Police provides contract services for special events requiring police presence. For information regarding requirements and/or to schedule an officer(s), please contact Sergeant Wilson at wbwilson@csupomona.edu.
