All security officers receive annual recurring training in-house to maintain proficiency. Officers have the authority to perform a citizen’s arrest if circumstances dictate. They also enforce parking regulations. There is a security officer on campus 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Public Safety personnel are unarmed. They conduct foot, bicycle and vehicle patrols on campus, to include interior patrols of the campus residence halls. They are the first responders to campus emergencies. The California Maritime Academy is within the jurisdiction of the City of Vallejo and works in conjunction with the Vallejo Police Department and other state and federal law enforcement agencies
