An updated “Use of Force” policy. The “Use of Force” policy was updated based on legislative changes to the use of deadly force (Assembly Bill 392), and language required in a use of force policy (Senate Bill 230) as well as additions/clarifications to definitions, and revisions to emphasize de-escalation. The revisions began in response to the Robinson/Edley report which recommended systemwide policies on “less lethal” weapons, and definitions of the types of resistance.
A new “Body Worn Audio/Video” policy. The “Body Worn Video” policy was drafted in order to have a systemwide approach to the use of body worn cameras, which were purchased and distributed to the campuses in 2019/2020.
A new “Systemwide Response Team” policy. The “Systemwide Response Teams” policy was drafted based on recommendation by the Robinson/Edley report to create specialized response teams to respond to crown management situations.
A new “Concealed Carry Weapons” policy. The Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) policy was drafted because the Systemwide Council of Chiefs of Police wanted to adopt a systemwide and consistent policy on the issuance of concealed carry weapons to qualified retired police officers (as we are required to do by statute). In addition, there was recent case law that held that medically retired police officers were not entitled to CCW’s that needed to be incorporated into policy.
Employees covered by this policy are invited to review the policy and submit comments on the revisions. Comments should be submitted to employeerelations@ucsd.edu by 4:30 p.m. on May 27, 2021.
