SDSU Police Department

Responsibilities

SDSU detectives investigate all crimes reported to the SDSU Police Department. They follow up on crime reports with workable leads or those that constitute part of an ongoing crime series. Detectives secure, process, and dispose of physical evidence as well as establish and maintain liaisons with other law enforcement agencies, local courts, the District and City Attorney's Offices. The bureau participates in all forms of investigative activities including: conducting surveillance, serving arrest warrants and search warrants, and probation and parole searches. Detectives are also responsible for monitoring and registering habitual offenders.

Typical crime caseloads include:

• auto theft
• battery

Pre-employment Background Investigations

SDSU investigators are also responsible for conducting pre-employment background investigations on police officer candidates and civilian employees of the department. Attention to this important function allows our department to be confident that we have screened and selected only the most highly-qualified candidates to become part of the San Diego State University Police Department.
