Reporting Incidents

Both the University and the city of Santa Cruz police departments will be monitoring suspicious behaviors, incidents and crimes occurring on and near the Westside Research Park. In order for the campus police to acquire sufficient information to evaluate the current and future safety needs, users of the Westside Research Park are encouraged to contact the police for any and all situations that appear out of the norm. 

Your efforts to report any and all incidents will not only ensure the future safety of the campus but will also help the purpose and cause of the Westside Research Park & Coastal Science Campus Safety Committee, which in part is to review campus security policies and practices with UCSC administrators to ensure users of the Westside Research Park are provided a safe and healthy workplace and public access environment.
