Staff members who need to enter facilities during non-business hours and who have not made prior arrangements are required to notify the District Police of their presence. This procedure is intended to maximize the security of individuals and facilities and to avoid false intrusion alarm calls to the police. Keys to facilities are provided to staff members upon written request and approval of appropriate administrators. Lost keys are to be reported to the authorizing administrator and to the District Police Department. Facility keys are not to be loaned or duplicated.
Key duplication is a misdemeanor.
No District equipment or property may be removed from a campus without written permission from an appropriate administrator. Unauthorized removal of District property from a campus is a violation of law that may result in prosecution. District police officers are required to meet the requirements of the California Penal Code regarding selection and training. District police officers are conferred peace officer authority by California Penal Code Section 830.32a and California Education Code Section 72330. Officers receive the same training and carry the same authority on or near the college campuses as City police officers and County deputy sheriffs.
