The University Police Department (UPD), in partnership with Facilities Services (FS) and Information Technology (IT), manages requests for intrusion alarms, duress (panic) alarms, and security camera systems. It is the department's goal to protect life and property and maintain a safe, secure environment for the entire campus community.
Request Process
Submit a Service Request
Departments must submit a request through the Facilities Services (FS) Service Request Portal at SF State - Welcome to SF State FacilitiesLink.
Security Assessment
FS forwards the request to the UPD Community Liaison Unit (CLU), which conducts a security survey and provides written recommendations.
Review and Approval
The Chief of Police (or designee) reviews the recommendations. FS notifies the requesting department of the approval status. All installations must comply with University Executive Directive #25-47: Electronic Security System.
Estimate and Installation
If approved, FS obtains a cost estimate from the security vendor. Upon acceptance, FS coordinates installation with IT and the vendor. Installation costs are billed to the requesting department.
