CalArts is dedicated to creating a safe and secure environment for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. With a community of more than 1,800 people, the active participation of everyone is crucial to the success of our campus safety program.

Campus Safety provides a full range of services to the CalArts community 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year-round. CalArts students, faculty, and staff should report potential criminal actions and other emergencies on campus.

Call 911 if you have an emergency that requires immediate assistance from the police, fire department, or ambulance. After calling 911, inform Campus Safety so they can assist the first responders when they arrive.

Responsibilities of Campus Safety include:

  • Assists and educates community members on how to take measures to ensure their personal safety
  • Is the first responder to emergencies of any kind
  • Protects the persons and property of students, faculty, staff, and visitors to CalArts
  • Patrols by automobile, electric cart, and on foot
  • Provides basic first aid until the arrival of paramedics
  • Monitors fire and door alarms
  • Enforces traffic and parking regulations
  • Takes reports of crimes and incidents
  • Provides incident reports to the CalArts administration and other persons as applicable
  • Assists law enforcement and other emergency service providers as needed
  • Provides around-the-clock escort service on campus upon request

Campus Safety officers are unarmed and have no special or police powers. Their arrest powers are identical to those of a private person, as provided in the California Penal Code section 837. Campus Safety is not a police department, but is responsible for law enforcement, security, and emergency response at CalArts. 

Campus Safety works closely and cooperatively with the County of Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. The Campus Safety Department does not currently operate under agreements such as a written memorandum of understanding (MOU) with state or local police.
