The UCSB Police Department

embraces community policing.

It is our mission to work in

partnership with the University

and surrounding communities

to create safer and more

informed environments. An

important aspect of this

relationship is interaction and

feedback among police officers,

students, faculty and staff. Do

you have a question about law

enforcement? Would you like to

see something covered in the

next issue of the Gaucho

Guardian? Email the editor at

FORWARD

By Chief Dust in Olson

We are members of the community we serve. Our role in the community is

to reduce crime, reduce the fear of crime, protect life and property, and

enforce the laws and statutes of the State of California. Our actions must

remain coordinated with our fellow community members in the mutual

effort to provide a safe, sustainable academic community. Our success is

largely a result of the support and cooperation we receive from the people

we serve.

To demonstrate our commitment to our UCSB community we continue to share our training and expertise with

our student, staff, faculty, and visitors. To safeguard our campus we recently provided “Active Shooter” training to

our community members. The successful training discussed life-saving steps to take during an active shooter

situation and the measures that will be taken to protect life by UCPD. We also regularly provide Rape Aggression

Defense (R.A.D) training to help educate others about personal safety. R.A.D. is the largest women's self-defense

training program in the country, being taught by more than 350 universities and municipal law enforcement

departments nationwide. We provide realistic self-defense options to women, regardless of their level of physical

conditioning. Students at all levels of ability, age, experience, and strength are provided with techniques and

information that can be effectively used from the first day of class. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program, nor does it

require students to be athletes in training to succeed.

In this issue of the Gaucho Guardian we have also reached out to our community stakeholders for content. We

want to share any information that is important to our stakeholders because we make the same investments in our

community – Keeping Gaucho’s safe! We will always continue to join our partners in this endeavor.

Please continue to read the Gaucho Guardian or visit our website for information on any of our training

opportunities.

We will continue to reach out to you, our community members, for ideas and feedback. Let me know how we are

doing by emailing me directly at dustin.olson@police.ucsb.edu. Until next time, stay safe and Go Gauchos!

Best Regards,

Dustin Olson

Chief of Police

of MRL.

About the event

Detective Bly said,

“The Lighting Walk

examines a number of

community concerns.

Not only are our

groups addressing

poorly lit areas, we are

examining safety

issues such as bicycle

safety at night,

identifying

maintenance

issues with

emergency phones, and examining safety concerns in our

parking lots. Whether people are going to class at night,

or using the evening hours for jogging, biking, or

walking, our goal is to provide as safe of an environment

as possible while on UCSB property.”

Related to the lighting and safety walk, Suzanne Nespor

noted that parking pass purchasing kiosks are undergoing

renovations in which

lighting will be added for

parking lot security in

addition to making them

more visible.

UCPD would like to

encourage our community

members to continue to

share their safety concerns

by contacting us anytime.

It was a dark night

but that is exactly

what participants

were expecting at

the UCSB Lighting

and Safety Walk on

January 31st. This

fourth annual

collaborative event

was kicked off to

help identify any

lighting or

safety concerns

around

campus. With

about thirty

community members in attendance, they split into

groups taking three separate routes around campus

and in the Devereux area. Among the participants

were police, faculty, staff and students. Community

members were given the opportunity to voice their

concerns about lighting, landscaping, or other

environmental factors which might lend themselves

to real or perceived security issues.

Among the participants was UCPD Detective Matt

Bly who was assigned to an eight person team along

the “blue” route. The team, which also included

Suzanne Nespor and Christopher Zbinden of

Transportation and Parking Services, Associate Vice

Chancellor for Administrative Services Ron Cortez,

and Dr. Bruce Tiffany Dean of the College of

Creative Studies, identified multiple lights that

needed to be replaced while documenting areas in

which lighting was poor. Such areas included the

loading dock behind Campbell Hall and the west side

“Whether people are going to class at night, or using the evening

hours for jogging, biking, or walking, our goal is to provide as

safe of an environment as possible while on UCSB property.”

During Fall Quarter 2013, the UCSB and Isla Vista community was turned upside down with the news of four alcohol and/or other drug related deaths. The unfortunate truth is that student deaths occur on all college campuses, but this year was very different. Three deaths occurred within three weeks, which were three too many in our community.

On February 1st, a group of students rallied together to create “Student to Student” an effort created by students for students to understand the dangers of alcohol and substance use.

“We are UCSB students who have been affected by the recent deaths

in Isla Vista. In the past quarter alone, four students have passed

due to substance-related accidents- three of which occurred in the last

three weeks of fall quarter. Although these specific deaths occurred in a

short amount of time, student deaths due to substances are far too common among our community. As

students who directly feel the negative impact of these untimely

deaths, we want to encourage more responsible use of substances among our community and our

friends.”

Victim Advocacy SpecialistVictim Advocacy Specialist

The UCSB Campus Advocacy

Resource & Education (CARE)

program, formerly known as the Rape

Prevention & Education Program,

recently announced several major

changes, including the program name

change. The CARE program’s name

change coincides with several

significant efforts to increase capacity

to serve student survivors of

interpersonal violence. Included in

these efforts is the addition of a new

direct advocacy line that connects

callers directly to a confidential, state

certified victim advocate. The CARE advocacy line is 805-893-4613 and is

available for students who want to

discuss their options. The advocacy

line is also a resource for concerned

family and friends who may have

questions about how best to support a

survivor that they know. Additionally,

the advocacy line is available for UCSB

faculty and staff who want to have an

advocate respond immediately when a

student disclosure has been made to

them.

UCSB takes all forms of violence very

seriously and the campus recently

received a $300,000 grant from the

Department of Justice Office on

Violence Against Women to

strengthen prevention and response

efforts on campus. The grant provided

funding for two additional staff

members, a full-time victim advocate

and a half-time prevention education

coordinator. The CARE program asks

the campus to help in welcoming

Stephanie Jones, the new victim

advocate, and Emily Crutcher, the new

prevention education coordinator to

campus. These two new staff members

significantly increase the capacity of the

CARE program to support student

survivors of interpersonal violence and

provide additional training and

educational outreach to hard-to-reach,

high-risk and underserved populations.

Issues of interpersonal violence

(stalking, domestic violence, sexual

assault) are a far too common

occurrence on not only our campus,

but all college campuses. We believe

that everyone has a right to live and

work in a safe, welcoming

environment, and we need everyone’s

help to make this happen:

As part of its increased educational

outreach, the Campus Advocacy,

Resources & Education (CARE)

program is recruiting student leaders

to serve as liaisons between their

communities and the CARE program.

Liaisons will attend one 2 hour training

on issues of interpersonal violence

(sexual assault, stalking and domestic

violence), bystander intervention

techniques, and campus and

community resources for advocacy.

Each liaison will then share that

information with their organization/

community in a peer-facilitated,

interactive presentation. We are

looking for students from a broad

range of populations on campus,

including athletes, Greeks and student

government leaders. Contact Emily

Crutcher at

emily.crutcher@sa.ucsb.edu with

questions or to sign up.

The mission of the newly named

program remains the same. The

Campus Advocacy, Resources &

Education (CARE) program exists to

anticipate and respond to the needs of

students impacted by stalking, dating/

domestic violence and sexual assault by

providing confidential advocacy and

support. CARE also works

collaboratively with students, faculty

and staff to educate the campus

community about the vital role that

each of us has in ending interpersonal

violence at UCSB.

The UCSB Campus Advocacy,

Resources & Education (CARE)

program believes that all students

deserve to learn in an environment

free from violence. CARE envisions a

campus where all students, faculty and

staff members treat one another with

respect and consideration, integrity,

where free, open and respectful

exchange of ideas can take place and

where contributions to and

participation in the community are free

from violence.

By: Gladys Manrique Koscak, M.S. Mental Health Specialist

Mass shootings across the nation; an ex-cop on a rampage in Southern California; the federal financial crisis; even student deaths on our own campus…a lot has been going on in the world. On top of all of the stress you might be feeling with school and jobs, even watching the news is a little anxiety producing. Inevitably a lot of people would rather watch Real Housewives of Wherever re-runs or simply turn the TV off and watch Harlem Shake videos on YouTube than the news. Although sometimes it is easier to block out what is actually happening, one thing that resonates through all of these incidents, both local and national, is how they bring a community together. Is it possible to embrace this sense of community and genuine care for others without a devastating event as the catalyst?

Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) comes in contact with a lot of students through individual therapy, group therapy, workshops and our Mental Health Peer office. The overwhelming feedback we receive when interacting with the campus is that students want a message of hope, a positive message that our community cares and that help is available.

We want to take this opportunity to remind you of our mental health and wellness resources but also emphasize that if your intuition or “gut” is ever telling you that something isn’t right, please say something. In order to help a friend, it’s important to think about these 3 things: when do you know that there might be a problem, who do you talk to, and what do you say?

When do you know?

If your friends are exhibiting changes in behavior such as they used to go to class all the time and now they barely get out of bed; they used to spend time on their appearance and now they can barely get themselves to brush their teeth or shower, etc. The changes do not have to be drastic but to that individual, it is a marked difference in their everyday life habits.

Do you or a friend need to be in a “crisis” to get some help? Absolutely not! We welcome people to come in and talk about their problems, situations that are difficult, or even just the stress of every day life. We want you to know that self-care is important at any point in the game!

Who do you talk to?

If you feel comfortable talking to your friend, go ahead and ask them about their well-being. Remember that they

may respond defensively – they may be going through a lot and have been trying really hard to make everything seem fine. However, they might also be relieved that someone noticed and cared enough to say something.

If you aren’t really sure how to start the conversation with a friend, don’t let that be the reason you don’t say anything. You can always talk to an RA, a professor, an advisor, a family member. It is better to express your concern to someone who can help you figure out what to do. Another option is to schedule a “consult” appointment at Counseling & Psychological Services (805-893-4411) and get the help of a psychologist on how to deal with the situation. That number is a 24/7 line, so if you need to talk to someone after hours, or on holidays and weekends, a counselor will be available to talk to you. Yet another option is to call Student Mental Health Coordination Services (805-893-3030) and talk to a coordinator about your friend. This less confidential office can provide consultation and support for you as you figure out the next steps in getting your friend some help, and will even outreach to your friend if appropriate.

Caring for your Community & Helping a Friend

If you find yourself in a situation where you or your friend are in danger, please call 911. Our police officers will always respond to any psychological or medical crises, and it is better to be safe than sorry. This can include anything from suicidal language or actions to excessive drinking and drug use that can lead to intentional or accidental overdoses. They have special training in handling mental health crises. Our officers would rather come out and make sure everyone is safe than to find out later their services were needed and you were afraid to call!

What do you say? If you are talking to a friend, remember to be respectful and do it at a time when there is some privacy. Talk about your concerns and offer to help them get some support. It can be a terrifying conversation to have with a friend, especially if “heart-to-hearts” aren’t your style, but remember that you could be saving a life. Talking to someone else like an RA or a TA can be helpful so you can get some support as well in tackling a conversation like this.

Keep in mind that this “counseling thing” isn’t meant to be a scary concept only suitable for serious mental illness and secrecy. We are here to help you through your college years, regardless of what that means to you individually. Your student fees already cover the services we offer, so you may as well come in and take advantage of what you are already paying for!

Keep an eye out for each other and help us keep our community safe and healthy by being kind to those around you!

By: Ariel T. Bournes

The message the UCSB Police Department pushes

out is consistent with one simple rule to follow: If a

bicycle is parked on campus and is not in a bike rack, it is

illegally parked(See video links at the end of the article.)

Still, having worked as a CSO for 4 years, one of the

most common questions that came up was WHY does

the police department impound bicycles on campus.

Overall, the UCSB Police Department and UCSB

Community Service Officers pride themselves on

educating over using only an enforcement paradigm. In

fact, much of its educational efforts are relayed back to

the various fines and fees associated with bicycle and

skateboard fines. Using written articles, videos, verbal

warnings, and other techniques, the police department’s

aim is to educate others on how to avoid the

inconvenience of impounding and fines.

But still, the question has not been answered, why

impound in the first place?

The answer is simple. The

primary concern of the

police department is safety,

and illegally parked bicycles

pose a safety hazard.

With nearly 20,000 bicycles each day that operate

on campus, the UCSB Police Department regularly

receives complaints from students, faculty and staff about

illegally parked bicycles. Without appropriate rules and

regulations, parking and day-to-day operations would be

very hectic, unappealing to current and prospective

students, and unsafe to say the least. Because of this

routinely expressed community concern around safe

bicycle parking, coupled with the uniquely high number of

bicyclists, impounding has found its place on campus as a

necessary solution.

Why We Impound Bikes on Why We Impound Bikes on

UCSB Campus...UCSB Campus...

UCPD’s Public Relations Specialist tours UCSB’s bicycle impound yard.

FACT: In 2012 CSOs impounded about 1,752 bicycles including numerous

stolen bicycle recoveries and hundreds of illegally parked bicycles. Among the

impounded bicycles almost half were impounded as abandoned property.

Furthermore, UCSB has about 1,000 students

with physical disabilities that limit their vision, hearing and

mobility. They rely on sidewalks, ramps, and other areas

to be free of obstructions such as illegally parked bicycles,

to function with the same accessibility of their fellow

gauchos. I can personally attest to this as my roommate is

currently enrolled at UCSB and is blind. He heavily relies

on being able to memorize the geography of the campus

in order to get around. When bicycles are not in the

same place every day, (aka outside of the bike racks), the

task of establishing a safe route

becomes increasingly more

challenging and time consuming

as the geography and obstacles

shift daily. Therefore moving

and or removing illegally parked

bicycles from the campus

landscape is indeed necessary.

Here are couple more points to consider while

considering the necessity of impounding on campus.

-UCPD's Bicycle Safety Program, including bicycle

impounding, is self funded and does not come from

student or university funds.

-UCSB Police officers do not spend time impounding

Bikes, Community Service officers do that. All CSO’s are

part time civilian employees of the police department and

current UCSB students. This means that police officers

are not taken away from their work.

- Some have suggested ticketing as opposed to

impounding, but citations (tickets) have limitations. For

example, the legal fine for an illegally parked bicycle is

nearly $200 (set by the court) and would require police

officers to remain in the area for possibly hours to cite

the violator. Impounding allows us to remove the

problem without over-penalizing the violator financially,

or jeopardizing the safety of the community by tying up

the police officers.

-Lawfully parked bicycles (those parked in bike racks) are

less likely to be stolen. Racks are provided to reduce

theft, the community's number one reported crime.

During the impound process stolen bicycles are

frequently recovered and returned to their original

owners. (The police department runs the license of every

impounded bike to see if it has been reported stolen.)

-The police department knows that in certain situations

exceptions can occur, which is why the fee to release an

illegally parked bike can be appealed.

Lastly, the UCSB UCPD actively liaison with AS BIKES so

they can continue to stay on top of community issues and

service our community to the

best of their ability. In fact,

they encourage students to

contact A.S. BIKES if they

have suggestions and

recommendations on how to

improve bicycle parking. (AS

BIKES is the organization that

addresses issues related to

bicycle parking and bicycle racks on campus.)

As always we welcome your feedback and ideas! Feel free

Hey! My name is Rebecca (better known as Viper); if I look

familiar it’s probably because you’ve seen me at some point

during the wee hours of the night patrolling Davidson Library.

I’m one of the Library Community Service Officers and I’d like

to tell you a little bit about my job. You might be wondering,

what are CSOs doing at the library at such odd hours? Well, we

are here to ensure that UCSB students, faculty, and staff enjoy a

safe and secure study space during Overnight Study at Davidson

Library. Our job is to patrol the library after regular business

hours to prevent safety hazards such as theft, accidents, and

trespassing.

Library CSOs have been around since September when the

library gave students, faculty, and staff 24-hour access to the

entire first and second floors. Two CSOs are assigned

specifically to the library every night for overnight security. We

are here to protect and guard University property as well as

the students utilizing Overnight Study hours. If you ever have

any questions after hours don’t hesitate to stop by the front

desk and ask one of the Library CSOs. See you at the library!
