This subchapter is promulgated to establish standards for community college district governing boards to ensure the application of community and evidence-based policing models, and effective faculty, staff, and student participation in the governance of public safety services, including campus policing and security. Public safety services must adhere to principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and accessibility, and in particular advance access to education, educational equity, and opportunities for student success by creating safe, secure, peaceful, and inclusive campus environments in which all persons may fully develop their individual potential without fear or undue risk of physical or emotional harm.

The standards established by this subchapter shall apply to all public safety services and public safety personnel, whether provided by district employees, or by contract with private third parties or other public agencies.
