Four tracks to choose from
The UC Community Safety Plan focuses on a more community-centric, service-oriented, and data-driven approach to campus safety. This integrated, holistic approach to safety and security represents not only changes in policy and procedures, but also a cultural shift that requires all to work together to create positive change.

Community and Service-Driven Safety
Campus safety policies and practices must reflect the needs and values of our diverse community and be in service to them. This fundamental idea is reflected throughout the plan.
A Holistic, Inclusive and Tiered Response Model for Safety Services
Safety will be defined in its broadest terms, and include mental health, wellness, basic needs and bias/hate response as well as other services. Multidisciplinary teams will triage behavioral health crises, conduct wellness checks and safely connect individuals to coordinated care, including health and social support resources.
Transparency and Continuous Improvement Through Data
Campuses will collect and publicly share uniform campus safety data on a UC-wide dashboard to empower the UC community and inform change.
Accountability and Independent Oversight
Independent police accountability boards, comprised of a broad cross-section of the UC community, will provide a robust complaint and investigation process to ensure that officers are acting consistently with rules, policies and the law.
