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

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 [email protected]. 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.”

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
[email protected] 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!
