Obtain a security review for planned events
A security review is required for any expressive activity that is planned in advance.
To schedule this review, an OrgSync Event Form or Expressive Activities Event Form must be:
- Completed in advance
- Submitted to the authorized University office
Expressive activity hourly rates:
- Student groups organizing expressive activities are eligible for the on-campus group security or police hourly rate, which does not vary depending on the viewpoint expressed.
- All expressive activities organized by off-campus groups incur an hourly rate for security or police services that does not vary, regardless of the viewpoint expressed.
The person organizing the special or expressive event is responsible for the cost of security or police services.
- However, if the UCSF Police Department determines that an event will require additional security or police services, the University will bear the cost.
The UCSF Police Department is solely responsible for the contracting, scheduling, and posting of any security or police personnel on University property. Organizers may not contract with third-party providers of security or police services without advance approval from the UCSF Police Department.
