Roll up - it's time to register your e-scooters, e‑bikes, and e‑skateboards, Bruins, if you plan to store your wheels in campus residence halls and apartments and ride at @ucla!

UCLA's new policy is in place to reduce fire risk from faulty electrical components, help deter thieves, aid in tracking down your device if stolen, and educate Bruins on critical rules of the road, including how to avoid getting ticketed for violations like speeding and unsafe riding.

Follow third-year neuroscience student Ganesh's lead and register your device now, starting here:

Grateful to be able to spend the day at the POST Wellness Conference, hosted by the CA Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. FRTD’s Stephanie Kiesow’s presentation on the use of therapy dogs was excellent and we were glad to be there in support ❤️

At UCLA’s First Responder Appreciation Game, we had the privilege of bringing Port Authority Police Officer Ray DeVito onto the field to be recognized for his bravery on September 11, 2001, and to represent the countless first responders who ran toward danger that day.

Before the game, Ray also shared his experiences with the UCLA football team, giving the players the opportunity to hear firsthand what courage, service, and sacrifice looked like on one of our nation’s darkest days.

To Ray, to every first responder who answered the call on 9/11, and to those who continue to run toward danger every day: thank you.

We remember the lives lost. We honor those who served. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Thank you to the Westwood Village Rotary Club for their generous gift supporting UCLA Police Department’s emotional support dog, Josie. Josie brings comfort, connection, and plenty of smiles to the UCLA community.

Safe to say Josie is already a campus favorite! 🥹🐶

LAPD and UCLA Police Complete a Simulated Multi-Threat Counter-Terrorism Training Exercise at UCLA

The LAPD, in collaboration with the UCLA Police Department (UCPD), the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD), and partnering public safety agencies, successfully completed a simulated, multi-threat counter-terrorism training exercise at the UCLA campus on Wednesday, August 26, 2026.

The exercise took place primarily in the area of Hedrick Court and brought together law enforcement and public safety personnel to train in a realistic, controlled environment.

This full‑scale exercise was designed to test and strengthen coordination, communication, decision‑making, and emergency response capabilities during a simulated critical incident. The scenario provided participating agencies an opportunity to evaluate response procedures, identify areas for improvement, and reinforce the importance of a coordinated approach during rapidly evolving emergencies.

“As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we are reminded that Los Angeles must remain prepared for any scenario,” said LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. “Today’s exercise strengthens our readiness to respond to dynamic incidents and reinforces the partnerships that keep our city safe. We are grateful to our UCLA hosts, as well as the LAFD, UCPD, and our partnering law enforcement agencies, for their shared commitment to public safety. Coordination among agencies is essential to saving lives, and today’s exercise showed what that coordination looks like in action.”

During the exercise, participants responded to a simulated active shooter incident involving realistic scenarios, role players, emergency response vehicles, tactical personnel, and other resources intended to replicate the challenges first responders may encounter during an actual critical incident.

Full‑scale exercises are an important component of emergency preparedness. They allow first responders and partner agencies to practice established procedures, evaluate communication and command structures, identify potential challenges, and improve coordination before an actual emergency occurs.

This week, our officers had to the opportunity to participate in Active Shooter Training with our partners @uclapd

Utilizing realistic scenario based training, we learned how to effectively and quickly respond to an active shooter incident. In a real life situation, multiple agencies will be responding so collaborating and training with other agencies is essential for preparedness.

A big thank you to @uclapd for hosting us and sharing their time and knowledge with our staff!

Safety begins with people who genuinely care about their community.

My family and I would like to thank the men and women of the UCLA Police Department @uclapd for hosting such a wonderful National Night Out event.

It was great to meet so many dedicated officers, learn more about their work, and see the strong relationship they continue to build with our community.

Thank you for your service, your commitment, and for everything you do to help keep UCLA and Los Angeles safe.

We are grateful for your hard work and proud to be part of this community.
