These are issued by the UCSF Campus Police Department “We ID” program. The UCSF Police Department manages user’s door access through the Hitachi Identity Management System. Access is granted either by a department representative or the UCSF Police Department. To contact the UCSF Police Department about access control, call 415-476-2088 or visit the UCSF Police Department website. |

For proper functioning of security technology and equipment, we provide the following services: Installation and maintenance of intrusion and alarm systems (maintenance depending upon the size of the system) Access control systems Closed circuit television systems (CCTV) Emergency call buttons across the campuses Installation, service and repair of building access security Card reader access control systems
Installation of electronic access control equipment, security panels, or intrusion and freezer alarms may require semi-annual or annual preventive maintenance to ensure customer safety. All intrusion systems are monitored by UCPD. All system installations require a security survey conducted by UCPD (or UCSF Health). For more information, visit the UCSF Police Department website. |
