About Campus Safety

APU's Department of Campus Safety is located on the first floor of Adams Hall on East Campus. The department consists of more than 100 employees, including 4 executive team members (chief, deputy chief, manager, lieutenant), 1 administrative coordinator to the chief, 1 office assistant, 25 staff officers, 2 dispatchers, and about 100 student officers who patrol the campus and respond to emergencies. APU requires all staff officers to complete training and receive certification in a California P.O.S.T. Basic Academy or PC 832 course; and possess a valid California BSIS guard card, and pepper spray and baton permits.

The Department of Campus Safety works with city, county, state, and federal law enforcement authorities. Agencies collaborate whenever possible on investigations and crime prevention programs to provide the best possible service to the APU community.
