References:  Penal Code, Section 830.2; Education Code, Section 89560.

Campus Public Safety officers are recognized in the California Penal Code as 
Peace Officers whose authority extends to any place in the State, but with the 
provision that their primary duty shall be the enforcement of the law within 
the area specified in the Education Code:

l.	At the headquarters or upon any campus of The California State 
	University, plus an area within one mile of the exterior boundaries of 
	the campus or Chancellor's Office.

2.	On any other properties owned, operated, controlled, or administered 
	by The California State University or by the trustees or the State on 
	behalf of The California State University.

3.	As provided in the Penal Code.

The goals and objectives of each Department of Public Safety clearly reflect the 
service orientation, preventive approach, and responsibility to the 
educational community inherent in the CSU Public Safety approach to law-
enforcement services.  Public Safety officers should recognize this as a 
professional law-enforcement approach that is viable in their educational 
community.

In pursuit of the goals of the CSU Public Safety program, Public Safety Officers 
must enforce the law in a fair and impartial manner, recognizing both the 
statutory and judicial limitations of law-enforcement authority and the 
constitutional rights of all persons.
