Police rate the
best
I thought you might
like to know that our very own University Police department
was rated the best in a recent California State University
system survey.
Most of those surveyed
were students, although faculty and staff were also included.
For those of you who have been to other campuses, you realize
just how service-oriented our police officers are in providing
the safest environment they can for students.
Cal State Long
Beach ranked first among campuses surveyed on customer satisfaction
in selected services, most particularly for its evening escort
services from classrooms to vehicles. More than 93 percent
of the campus respondents said that police services are essential
to our university community.
Of the respondents,
95 percent stated that they feel safe on campus, ranking CSULB
first among the campuses surveyed. CSULB ranked first in police
service employee sensitivity to the cultural diversity of
the campus. We ranked second in customer satisfaction in the
important areas of timeliness of services and crime prevention
presentations.
Our university
police also received high marks for employee professionalism
and helpfulness. Most of respondents, at 80 percent, felt
that our officers are concerned about helping people to resolve
their problems.
We are gratified
with these results and certainly very proud of the hard working
men and women of the department who have made it one of the
best in the CSU system.
Our officers continue
to meet regularly with campus constituent groups to monitor
safety conditions and to ensure a safe learning and working
environment for students, faculty and staff.
In the coming months,
look for new and enhanced safety features around the campus.
Send us your suggestions or contact your student government
leaders to discuss your ideas.
Go BEACH!
CSULB President,
Robert C.
