Campus Security
Campus Security provides a high-profile presence using a variety of patrolling techniques including vehicle, foot, and bicycle patrol. We utilize armed and unarmed security personnel who are responsible for patrolling the main campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Campus Security maintains a rapid response capability to manage most security matters and receives assistance from the Pomona Police Department involving criminal incidents.
