The CSUN Department of Police Services (DPS) is aware of recent statements made calling for action as it relates to the conflict in the Middle East.

As always, the safety of our students, faculty and staff are our primary concern. In response to this situation, we have increased our patrol checks and visibility in sensitive areas in and around the campus. We have proactively reached out to our Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian student groups and have worked collaboratively with campus administrators in Faculty Affairs, Student Affairs and Administration & Finance to ensure we are connecting with the campus community as a whole.

Additionally, we have been and remain in constant communication with our law enforcement partners, including the Los Angeles Police Department, FBI and Homeland Security. At this time, we have not received any information of specific or credible threats to the campus. Be assured, however, if anything should change, DPS will be sure to advise our campus community.

We understand that times such as these are troubling and traumatic to our campus population. To our students, we encourage you to reach out to our University Counseling Services as needed for your mental health and emotional well-being. To our employees, the Employee Assistance Program is available to support you.

Please remember, “If you see something, say something” by contacting CSUN Police Services at our main line 818 677-2111. For emergencies, always dial 911.

The Department of Police Services is here and ready to serve you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Sincerely,
Alfredo B. Fernandez
Chief of Police
CSUN Department of Police Services
