UNIVERSITY POLICE OPEN HOUSE

CSULB's University Police hosted an Open House near the Maxson Plaza Fountain on Thursday, Oct. 23. The event was held from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Students and staff were welcome to meet campus security and the new Chief of Police, Stan Skipworth, as well as learn about the various security services on campus.

One topic of discussion was the new Connect-Ed emergency notification system.  "We saw that our opportunity to utilize an ENS system to communicate with our student body, faculty, and staff on an immediate basis in response to an emergency was really going to be a critical component to our overall preparedness in emergency situations," said Skipworth.

"With thousands of students attending such a large campus, it is important to be 

aware of the emergency services available," said Greg Pascal, communications and information safety manager for University Police.  The event not only allowed students to attend department tours, but also allowed them to meet those monitoring their safety daily.
