The San José State University Police Department provides primary law enforcement services to all off-campus fraternity and sorority houses recognized by the University. Therefore, the UPD handles all reports and crime statistics from those locations.
The SJSU requires all University “course(s) and program event(s)” participants to submit signed waivers to the SJSU Academic Department regarding any university recognized activity taking place off campus. The waivers also provide the UPD with contact information in the event of an emergency.
In the event of any reported criminal activity involving any recognized off-campus university events, the University Police Department will make every reasonable effort to obtain reports and information from the law enforcement jurisdiction responding to the reported crime. If no report was made, the UPD will make an informational report and contact the law enforcement agency in whose primary jurisdiction the event occurred.
Other than the above events recognized by the SJSU Academic Affairs Department, the University Police Department does not regularly monitor student activity off-campus.
Public properties immediately adjacent to campus are under the jurisdiction of the San José Police Department (except for Valley Transportation Authority properties, buses, and light rail trains, which are under the jurisdiction of the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office). The University Police department works closely with both agencies to be informed regarding those incidents which may effect the university community and properties. Links have been provided on the UPD web site to the San José Police Department and Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, where additional crime statistics of those jurisdictions can be obtained.
