Campus Police & Safety Advisory Committee

The purpose of the Police & Safety Advisory Committee is to ensure the University Police Department (UPD) aligns with both the university’s mission and values of inclusivity, community engagement and social and environmental responsibility. It serves as a voice for the various stakeholders it represents (students, faculty, staff and the UPD).

The Committee Will...

• Discuss campus climate issues related to policing and law enforcement on campuses.
• Review UPD policy, procedures, and practices at regular intervals.
• Identify recommendations for engagement.
• Support community outreach efforts.
• Provide training and education for UPD and the campus community with a focus on addressing issues of inclusion, equity, and access.

Importantly, as the needs of the campus community change, the Committee will have the ability to shift its priorities to meet those needs.

• Develop a sustainable community policing framework that values the safety, education, and accountability of all campus stakeholders.
• Build a campus community that fully integrates students, faculty, staff, and UPD through consistent engagement opportunities and meaningful collaborations.
• Improve transparency and trust among UPD, students, faculty and staff through education and communication of policy, practices, procedures, and protocols related to campus safety.
• Collaborate with different campus organizations to develop mechanisms of community accountability among UPD, students, faculty, and staff to ensure all community members feel safe, welcomed, and a strong sense of justice and belonging at CPP when interacting with university police.

Ongoing Priorities for the Committee:

• Bring together all campus stakeholders (faculty, students, UPD, staff, and administrators) as one CPP community to improve trust, communication, and transparency.
• Identify strategies for UPD to bridge the gap between traditional policing and a community policing model that aligns with a university environment, so UPD is more aligned with the educational mission of the institution through a balance of educational approaches with accountability and meeting compliance with state and federal laws.
• Educate students and other campus stakeholders about engagement with law enforcement.
• Engage in further research about community needs and UPD data collection practices.
• Continue the UPD complaint process review.

1. Discussion and Actions Items
   1. UPD Updates
      1. Chief Dinh, UPD Representative, provided updates on activities.
         1. Members of his team are investigating a carjacking case with the LAPD. Proactive measures from that event resulted in officers patrolling parking lots.
         2. There was a challenging incident in Library. The Chief has reviewed the body cam and other footage to understand what actions were taken. All the involved officers followed established procedures for such situations. The Chief held a debrief session with the officers involved to review footage and provide feedback.
      2. Chief Dinh provided updates on topics from the previous meeting, such as outreach and communication. A campus outreach event, Coffee with Cops, was held recently which included members of all teams within UPD. UPD added a comment or concern submission link on to their website, allowing community members to voice their opinion to UPD.

• Questions –
  1. The committee expressed confusion on behalf of students about Police “obligation,” duties, and timely warning. Asked why there is often a delay in communication about situations that are happening on campus. The Chief explained that there are specific legal procedures for issuing such announcements.
  2. A committee member said they had not heard about the outreach event and asked where this event was advertised. The Chief recognized that the event was last-minute and was not well advertised. His team is working on improving their communications for outreach programs and other events.
  3. Another point brought to attention was that students tend to find out information about current incidents from club communications before the UPD puts out statements. UPD is aware of that situation. The victim chose to report it to the club before informing the UPD.

1. Committee Discussion/ Reviews/ Timelines
   3. Members got into breakout groups to review goals and accomplishments created last year. Committee Chair Stang asked for groups to review the list of goals and bring back their top 3.
   4. Group 1’s outcomes and reflections

1. Officer Bio on website
2. Chief communicating positive ideas and updates
3. Communication team for UPD to promote/communicate clear and timely information.

• Group 2 outcomes and reflections
  1. Coordinated PR outreach updates. Helps with clear communication to the campus community.
  2. Video information from Chief; help with regular communication from UPD outside of crime alerts
  3. Town hall on campus policing led by students or CPP community, not by UPD.
  4. The biggest issue to address is to create trust and connections. Creating stronger relationships will help with getting the campus to work with UPD
  5. Having officers visible on campus and not always in their car
     

• Group 3 outcomes and reflections
  1. Communication cannot be in one format. Identify who can best connect UPD with the students (ASI, Student leaders, SELS).
  2. Both students and UPD need to understand each other’s challenges and needs.
  3. Create UPD Ambassadors, Department or Organization communicators, or a Public Information Officer. This group is to be considered a neutral party. More of a liaison between UPD and all stakeholders.

b. Clery Presentations
A brief overview and background of the Clery Act were given to provide more information to the committee. The purpose of the Clery Act is to disclose all crimes on a college campus. Clery Act is an institutional responsibility to contain compliance. The act has numerous reporting obligations under federal law. The data collected consisted of information from UPD and the local police department regarding a report of students who live off campus. Clery at CPP continues to integrate compliance into regular business processes.

Also, promoting a culture of reporting and holistic support/supportive measures. The presentation was followed by questions from the committee. The main topic was how to make the clergy information accessible to students and families of students.

c. Communications/Open Discussion
The Chair shared with the group that our next meeting conflicts with the Black Thriving Initiative kick-off event. The group was encouraged to attend the kickoff instead of the Police Advisory & Safety Committee.

d. Discussion
The group touched on the importance of communicating the UPD extension to the campus community. Numerous members of the committee are willing to help promote the extension of 3070.
A committee member suggested training for students and staff to help promote a better understanding of how to lessen the chances of risk on campus at night.

I. CALL TO ORDER MEGAN STANG, CHAIR
Megan Stang, Committee Chair, welcomed the committee members and called the meeting to order at 1:05 PM

II. UPD UPDATES LT. BROCK
UPD was present at the new student orientation in October. Also, they participated in a campus meet and greet near the library to interact with faculty, students, and staff on campus to let people know that UPD is present, what they do, and how to reach them.
UPD is working on improving its partnerships with the local law enforcement agencies. Recently they had a successful joint training with Pomona PD, as well as exchanging control alerts to keep everyone informed.
Megan Stang commented about the WASC campus visit in October. WASC is the organization that accredits the university. The visiting team requested specifically to meet with the PASC and to discuss the intentions of the committee. A couple of the questions asked were “How do you know if the PASC is effective” and “Does the campus know the PASC exists”?
The PASC members and UPD have a direct hand in educating and building a campus community with events that integrate faculty, students, UPD, and staff. PASC will continue to discuss different ways to be effective on campus, continue to develop campus partners; and track the effectiveness of initiatives and campaigns implemented by the PASC.

III. SAFETY RESOURCE CARD REQUEST MEGAN STANG, CHAIR
After an off-campus incident that resulted in multiple student injuries; a group of students inquired about providing a safety resource card for students to access campus resources. The purpose of the safety resource card is to provide the campus community with a list of resources and help after an emergency.
LT. Brock will check to see if a safety resource card already exists. If not, does UPD have funding for any of the following: the safety resource card, creating an app listing resources, a wallet-size resource list, a digital card, and a QR code that could be used to access the resources on their phones?

IV. SUPPORT FOR THE BLACK THRIVING INITIATIVE MEGAN STANG, CHAIR
BTI is a campus-wide initiative that recognizes and responds to anti-Blackness as an existential threat to our mission as a public university. Anti-Blackness stifles our ability to educate, discover, create, heal, and thrive. As a result, this campus-wide strategy recognizes that our future as a university must be linked to the success of Black communities and demands racial healing, building capacity and consciousness, and accountability of all.
How does the campus community and PASC support the BTI initiative? What are the next steps for PASC partnering with BTI?
PASC's first step in building a partnership is to invite a representative from BTI to talk to the committee members about their current plan of action and the next steps in engaging with the campus community. In that meeting, discuss spring planning and potential campus outreach events with PASC and BTI.

V. STUDENT VOICES CHANDLER, JESSE, NAMAN
Jesse Hofer suggested creating a program or safety measures for e-scooters on campus, in hopes of creating a safer environment for the riders and pedestrians around campus.
LT. Brock suggested placing speed limit signs for the scooters around campus and establishing a program where the university can provide helmets and possible outreach training on how to properly ride the scooters. The committee agreed to research and continue the discussion on this issue, and possibly invite the Director of Parking and Transportation to further the conversation.
Naman Pandadiya commented that the students appreciated UPD’s presence in the past couple of weeks at student events and protests surrounding the mid-east conflict. Many of the students felt safe to protest.
Chandler Saenz asked about the communication of an active shooter on campus and what measures are in place. How would a student know what is happening on campus? How are the professors notified of the situation? Is there protection in the classrooms? Are the professors aware of and trained in those protections?
LT. Brock's responded to the questions that the campus is on the RAVE system and everyone on campus with a phone is connected to it. In case of an active shooter incident, the campus community will be contacted through their cell phone.

VI. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 2:06 PM.
Next meeting: Peter Hanink will survey the campus to measure the awareness of UPD on campus.
Planning of an outreach for this committee and Black Thriving Initiative.

III. RESEARCH SURVEY PETER HANICK,
The Campus Police Climate Project presentation by Dr. Peter Hanink, Sociology, and CHARDONNAY MARQUEZ,
Students Chardonnay Marquez, Sociology, and Vivian Martinez, Criminology. VIVIAN MARTINEZ

The Problem
What is the present climate of policing on campus? How do CPP students feel about the police?
First, the campus administration has recognized there is an issue with the police. Once the administration
recognized the issue the Campus Police Advisory Committee was formed. The efforts within the PAS committee
and UPD havebeen to focus on information and communication to the campus community.
With these efforts, campus administration does not know how CPP students, faculty, and staff feel about the police.

What Influences Perceptions of Campus Police?
• Past Interactions with Law Enforcement – Negative, Positive, Lack
• Campus – Students, Faculty, Staff
• Identity – Gender, Race, Home Community, Sexual Identity, Immigration Status

The Scope of the Project
• Survey will consist of Mixed Methods, 10-15 minutes, 30-40 questions, a survey sent by Qualtrics,
to the Students, Faculty, and Staff
• IRB approval
• Incentive (raffle $50 gift cards)

II. UPD UPDATES & OUTREACH EFFORTS                                                 CHIEF LINH DINH

Bike Registration Event: The University Police Department held a Bike Registration Event in February, where students can register their bikes with UPD.  UPD used this time to interact with students, who asked questions about different types of locks and how to get their bicycles registered.

Campus Events: UPD monitored several protests on campus. Some of them were pro-Palestine and others were against some companies presenting at career fair-type events.  Chief Dinh interviewed with Poly Post last week regarding the shooting at an off-campus warehouse party in the fall.  Chief also provided some safety tips for those going out to similar types of venues.

Bronco Spring Safety Fair: UPD will be co-hosting the Bronco Spring Safety Fair, collaborating with the Clery Compliance Unit, Student Health and Wellness.  The Bronco Spring Safety Fair will be held on March 28, during u-hour.

Active Shooter Training: UPD conducted an active shooter training and collaboration with the Pomona Police Department a few weeks ago, In the next couple of weeks UPD has scheduled active shooter response training with the LA County Sheriff's Department.  A few UPD officers attended the training and has proved very beneficial as far as the collaboration in responding to campus events.

Parking and Safety Measures: To ease congestion in parking lot C, UPD and Parking and Transportation moved the drop-off and pickup locations from in front of SSB.  A new area by Voorhis Circle was created, which is working very well.There is plenty of curb space, and is in the interior of campus. UPD partnered with Campus Parking Transportation on an outreach event to discuss parking and safety tips.  Also, they took the opportunity to recruit more CSOs or student assistant workers to help us in our efforts to provide service to the community. 

A parking permit design contest is taking place and the winner will get a free parking pass for the semester.

Foothill Transit:  Chief Dinh attended a Foothill Transit meeting to discuss rider safety and emergency response and talk about ways that we could collaborate with our partners at Foothill Transit.  Currently, Foothill Transit offers free bus passes for qualifying students; Silver Streak has seen an increase in usage from our campus.

V. AED PROGRAM

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)                                                PHYLLIS NELSON AND ERICK GUANDIQUE

AEDs can save lives when they are used.  Each year, experts estimate, more than 18,000 Americans have a shockable cardiac arrest that occurs in public with witnesses. “We estimate that about 1,700 lives are saved in the United States per year by bystanders using an AED,” says Dr. Myron Weisfeldt of Johns Hopkins University.  “Unfortunately, not enough Americans know to look for AEDs in public locations, nor are they trained on how to use them.”

Best Practice Roles and Responsibilities

1. One set of adult/pediatric defibrillation electrodes, connected to the device.
2. One AED response Kit: two pairs of gloves, one disposable razor, one pair of trauma shears, two gauze pads, one antiseptic towelette, and one pocket mask barrier device.

 AED Locations

AEDs are in all State Buildings, Enterprise Buildings, and ASI Buildings

Cal Poly Pomona has AEDs

What’s still lacking:

• Student perspective - Awareness campaign needed
  • We are more than just reporters, make human connection, opportunities to build community and have engagement programming to get to the bottom of issues
