The University of California, Office of the President (UCOP) is proposing changes to the University Police Policies and Administrative Procedures, which are applicable to UC Peace Officers.
The proposed changes have been updated in consultation with the UC Chiefs of Police and UC Legal. The policies were also reviewed by the Federated University Police Officers Association (FUPOA) and revisions were made based on those conversation.
In summary the updates include:
- an updated “Use of Force” policy based on legislative changes (AB 392 and SB 230)
- a new “Body Worn Audio” policy
- a new “Systemwide Response Team” policy
- a new “Concealed Carry Weapons” policy
The following documents are attached for your review and comment:
- VP SHR Gold Book Review letter
- BWV Final 2021 Full Review
- SRT Final 2021 Full Review
- CCW Final 2021 Full Review
- Use of Force 2021 Full Review
We anticipate there will be future edits to the Gold Book following the release of the president’s to-be-announced plan for campus safety. Any changes at that point would also go through the same review process, consistent with other systemwide HR policies.
Employees covered by this policy who wish to provide comments on the proposed changes may submit them to hrpolicy@ucr.edu by May 28, 2021, for submission to UCOP by May 31, 2021.
