Establishing a Global Liaison Unit for outreach to international students
UC Davis Police establish Global Liaison Unit
The UC Davis Police department Global Liaison Unit (GLU) was established as the department’s response to the community’s request for targeted information for and attention to our international students and those groups who feel underrepresented in our community. Additionally, the program is a practical response to the campus motto "One World, One UC Davis" and is one of the many contributions the police department is striving to make in an effort to support and confirm the community’s conviction that at UC Davis, we are changing our world for the better.
There are many ways the UC Davis Police Department can support our international and unrepresented communities and below are just a few of the changes and/or additions we have incorporated into our services, to better serve all of our campus community members:
- Implemented community based recruitment panels
- Implemented quarterly Police Chief / Student Advisory Committee Meetings

AB540 & Undocumented Students

"The UC Davis Police Department is here to serve and protect everyone."
In the future, the UC Davis Police Department's GLU looks forward to:
- Continue to meet, engage with and foster partnerships with campus international staff
- Continued participation in cultural sensitivity trainings, workshops and informational events
- Continual creation of informational flyers, brochures, pamphlets and other marketing and information items aimed at advising the international student to university law enforcement practices
