The Public Safety Commission is an Associated Students BCU focused on promoting a safe environment in Isla Vista and on the UCSB campus. Our efforts involve collaborating with students, community members, public safety organizations, and local law enforcement authorities to identify and address public safety concerns and build confidence in the safety and welfare of our students and community members.
Our Mission
As representatives of and advocates for the campus community, we are dedicated to fulfilling our commitment to the of students UCSB and to the safety of Isla Vista. Our duties and responsibilities are outlined by the A.S. Legal Code, which reads as follows: “The A.S. Public Safety Commission will work to increase the level of safety throughout the Isla Vista and the UCSB campus. The commission will focus on all safety issues concerning the student body as well as increasing student relations and communications with Isla Vista Foot Patrol, California Highway Patrol, UC Police Department, and the Office of Student Life in a positive manner. To help accomplish such improvement of relations and communications the commission shall organize projects and campaigns pertaining to public safety.”
Past Projects
In May 2023 the Public Safety Commission released a Post-Deltopia Survey in collaboration with UCIV to gather information about students’ experiences during Deltopia weekend with efforts to better understand public safety issues in the community.
