CSU Fullerton Police Department

The California State University Fullerton Police Department is a member of the Orange County AVCC consortium, confirmed as a listed agency in the ILJAOC Joint Powers Agreement (2022 revised version) and on the Schedule A attached to Santa Ana PD’s contract. A university campus police department’s presence in a law enforcement data-sharing consortium is significant.

CSUF PD serves a campus of about 40,000 students in the city of Fullerton, Orange County. Through its AVCC consortium membership, CSUF PD officers have access to PSDEX data contributed by agencies nationwide — including jail booking data, arrest records, and crime reports from thousands of participating agencies. The university community includes substantial numbers of international students and students from immigrant families.

California’s SB54 sanctuary law applies. University police departments occupy a legally complex position: they are state law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction on campus, but they operate within an institutional context that includes federal Title IV compliance obligations and FERPA protections for student records. Whether CSUF PD’s AVCC access extends to contributing campus police data to PSDEX has not been confirmed.
