6.3 Crime Prevention: Crime Analysis
6.3.4 UCSF Administrative Listserv Addresses (Revised: 11/3/25 )
UCSF publishes information for students and employees in bulletins, newspapers, email, etc.
pertaining to specific crimes that are considered to be a threat that have occurred on or in close
proximity to the University or any of its satellite facilities. The Police Department, as part of its
mission, has the re sponsibility to inform the UCSF community of all major incidents that
threaten the safety and security of faculty, staff, students and visitors. Specific methods (e.g.,
Listservs) were developed to assist in the dissemination of information to faculty, sta ff and
students. A “Listserv” is the name used for a group of email recipients identified to receive the
same message at the same time by a single user. It enables the Police Department to create a
message and instantly send it to campus administrators and other persons within the campus
community. All sergeants and watch commanders have access to send UCSF Police community
safety emails to the UCSF Listservs, day or night, with approval from the on -call commander.
