Mr. Ferrara said that the doors are supposed to unlock during an alarm, but they may not have this time because these are tests, not real alarms. He said he'd check on it. The Fire Alarms are under Public Safety. My comment was intended to be associated with the testing of the fire alarms in MSB that are currently occurring. When it is completed and passes inspection from the State Fire Marshal, the system will come under Public Safety with the rest of the University buildings.
Security has chemical devices, batons, but no firearms or powers of arrest.
UC Police has firearms and arrest powers. They undergo the same training as the city police. Basically the only difference between UC Police and the city police is jurisdiction. UC Police has jurisdiction over all areas under the authority if the Board of Trustees. Because the governor appoints the Board, the UC Police has governmental ties.
