Rick Braziel, the new Office of Campus Safety leader, will oversee and manage UCLA PD and the Office of Emergency Management.
UCLA on Sunday revealed it has created a new "Office of Campus Safety" a day after some blamed school administrators for the "lack of response" to violence that broke out at pro-Palestine student protests on the Westwood campus last week. "In the past week, our campus has been shaken by events that have disturbed this sense of safety and strained trust within our community.
These actions are essential for creating a secure environment where everyone at UCLA can confidently pursue their studies and careers."RELATED: UCLA protest: Over 200 arrested as pro-Palestine encampment clearedThe announcement comes after the union that represents police officers at University of California schools pointed the finger at UCLA administrators for the "lack of response" to last week's violence.
