Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 36, September 6, 2024
Section 59702 - Campus Policing and Student Success

District governing board policies related to campus public safety services must be aligned to the purposes of this subchapter. These policies shall include the elements described below.

(a) A requirement that campus police and security officers adhere to community policing principles and evidence-based policing practices.
(b) A "Public Safety Compact" developed with community college stakeholders, including campus police and security officers, that establishes the district's requirements for the delivery of public-safety related services on campus, including the respective roles and responsibilities of administrators, faculty, campus police and security officers, mental health and social services workers, crisis counselors, community non-profits, and other related service providers in responding to the public safety needs of the campus.
(c) A public safety advisory committee to make recommendations to the district governing board related to district policies governing campus public safety services.
(1) Advisory committee recommendations may relate to the following subject matter areas: budgets and fund allocations, governance, and public safety policies and practices related to body and dash cameras, classroom response practices, complaints, investigations, crisis response, detention, discipline, firearms, handcuffing, promotion, recruitment and hiring, restorative justice programs, retention, training, uniforms and attire, use of force, welfare checks, and other related subjects deemed appropriate by the governing board or the advisory committee.
(2) District policies must ensure the disclosure of information and documents relevant to the development of recommendations by district advisory committees. Advisory committee recommendations shall be provided to the district chief executive officer, and be reported to district governing boards at regularly-noticed meetings.
(3) Advisory committees shall be composed of campus stakeholder representatives, and districts shall engage in active efforts to recruit advisory committee members from historically underserved communities. The advisory committee function described in this section may be fulfilled by existing district consultation processes.
(d) A requirement that public safety personnel offer contact information to individuals who are stopped or otherwise subject to a police or security officer-initiated interaction, except where doing so would pose a safety risk; and
(e) To further the development of evidence-based practices, a process to encourage individuals who have interacted with campus public safety personnel to submit to the district a response related to the interaction. The process shall:
(1) solicit responses regarding the individual's perception of the interaction and district's public safety practices;
(2) provide to the advisory board described in subdivision (c), an aggregated summary or otherwise anonymized version of the responses received;
(3) allow for the anonymous submission of responses;
(4) prohibit any retaliation against a responder, including a prohibition against the use of a response in any disciplinary proceeding against the responder; and
(5) provide an accessible method for all individuals to provide responses.
(f) The process described in this subdivision (e) shall be separate from any disciplinary or personnel proceeding. It shall not be used in connection with any disciplinary proceeding against campus public safety personnel, including a peace officer disciplinary proceeding under Penal Code 832.5. Information, data, and records developed under this process shall not be maintained in any personnel file.
