Communications and Dispatch
The University Police Department operates
an Emergency Communications Center serving the Hayward and Contra Costa
Campuses that is staffed by a Public Safety Dispatcher 24 hours a day,
7 days a week.
Dispatchers are technically trained, non-sworn
members of the department who are required to satisfy specific Peace Officer
Standards and Training principles and complete a certified Dispatcher
course. Dispatchers monitor requests for general and emergency assistance
via information desk, radios, telephones, faxes, teletypes, alarms and
coordinate a response via an enhanced 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point
system. Dispatchers are also responsible for monitoring the radio frequencies
local law enforcement agencies and coordinating requests for outside agency
assistance.
