Request a Police Detail

The UCLA Police Department (UCPD) recognizes the importance of maintaining safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow at University work sites. UCPD also recognizes that certain events, including athletic contests, special events, construction activities, and other campus functions, may require police presence to support public safety, crowd management, traffic control, and security operations.

To meet these needs, UCPD may provide department-approved police services in addition to officers’ regularly scheduled duties, subject to department policies and operational availability. While providing these services, UCPD officers remain responsible for enforcing applicable laws and regulations, supporting University policies, and protecting the safety of the UCLA community and its visitors.

A police presence or police services may be required by University policy or UCPD determination under circumstances that may include, but are not limited to:

• University-sponsored events with significant attendance
• Events where alcohol is served
• Activities that may impact pedestrian or vehicular traffic flow
• Construction or maintenance work affecting public rights-of-way or campus access
• Events or activities where crowd control or enhanced security is necessary

Rates and Costs

Fees for police services are established by UCLA and the University of California and may vary based on factors such as staffing requirements, duration, timing, and the nature of the event. Applicable administrative fees may also apply. Current rates and minimum staffing requirements can be provided at the time of request.
