California State University, Northridge Police Department

California State University, Northridge Police Department serves Los Angeles, CA. Over the summer session, the Department of Police Services advanced four initiatives to completion and made meaningful progress on two additional workstreams that will carry into the fall. Progress Achieved This Summer • Alternative to Prosecution: In partnership with the District Attorney and the City Attorney, we established a program offering a path away from formal prosecution in appropriate cases. • Police Therapy K9: We launched the first Police Therapy K9 program of its kind in the CSU system, adding a new tool for building trust and supporting wellbeing across our campus community. • Student Outreach & Problem Solving: We brought together Student Affairs, Facilities Planning, and the student community to address concerns through dialogue and shared problem-solving rather than enforcement alone. We will continue to draw on this approach when similar circumstances suggest communication and education can mitigate the necessity of police response. Non-emergency: (818) 677-2111. Dial 911 for emergencies.
