Safety & Police
CSU Police Department
As a university police agency, CSUPD is committed to working with all stakeholders to maintain a safe environment in support of the academic mission of the University and the health and wellness of the community. The department is comprised of law enforcement and civilian professionals who recognize the importance of a guardian-centric approach. In action, this philosophy prioritizes education over enforcement whenever reasonably possible. By collaborating with a variety of university resources, this holistic approach places emphasis on student retention and student success, without compromising safety.
CSUPD and campus safety partners work in conjunction to ensure campus compliance with the Clery Act.

SafeWalk is provided by CSUPD with trained campus service officers providing safe escort from any university location to another university property or within a three-block radius.
Environmental Health Services

Programs and services include public and occupational health, safety and industrial hygiene, fire safety, emergency response and more.
