Campus Safety

The Cal State Northridge Police Department patrols campus property, including parking lots and residence halls, 24 hours of every day. All laws and regulations are enforced. Campus security and safety are continually evaluated. For example, a night safety walk is held biannually to identify potential security issues that emerge after dark. Members of the Police Department also make frequent campus and community presentations designed to encourage safe, and law-abiding behavior.
