Security Assessments

Arrange for a security assessment

The UCSF Police Department conducts free security assessments (surveys) to inspect premises and make recommendations to improve your workplace safety. You will receive a detailed report within 10 business days after the inspection. Security surveys for physical security improvements for Medical Center/UCSF Health buildings are handled by Medical Center Security. 

Security surveys 

Security surveys are required: 

  • For any department that is considering any security-related improvements such as camera systems, security alarms or upgraded door locks. The survey must be completed before Facilities Services will complete any work related to security. Departments must request a Security Survey before purchasing any security-related equipment. University policy prohibits departments from upgrading or installing physical security equipment that is not recommended by the UCSF Police Department/Medical Center Security. 
  • For all major construction projects, the UCSF Police Department works with departments and project managers to prevent crime through environmental design. This work includes reviewing floor plans and blueprints for construction, remodels or relocations. We recommend you contact us as early as possible in the process.
