Campus, city and state departments all play roles in enforcing alcohol policies and laws in the campus area. In recent years they have taken a more coordinated approach in order to increase the certainty and effectiveness of enforcement. For example, all Second Response Ordinance violations are processed by the Berkeley City Police. It shares the information with UC Berkeley Police and the Office of Student Conduct - who will then contact the violators which are current UC Berkeley students. The California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) enforces the laws of the State of California regarding the manufacture, sale, and consumption of alcohol. ABC officers can respond to any alcohol law violation anywhere in the state of CA. the ABC may work in parallel, though not necessarily together with local law enforcement agencies. Investigators are often undercover and may lie about their identity to protect their cover for the success of the operation and/or their own safety. City of Berkeley Police (BPD) focuses on public safety and law enforcement. It has received grant funding from ABC annually since 2004 to implement specific operations designed to reduce underage drinking. It handles safety and traffic control on football game days. University of California Police Department (UCPD) provides traditional law enforcement and emergency services as well educational, outreach and crime prevention programs for the UCB campus community. It enforces the Campus Student Conduct Code (including the alcohol policies) as well as city and state laws. UCPD was the first and only university police department to receive grant funding from ABC to implement specific enforcement operations designed to reduce underage drinking. UCPD has received a second year of ABC funding to continue this collaboration with BPD to reduce underage drinking. The Center for Student Conduct and Community Standards works to preserve the standards set forth in the Berkeley Campus Code of Student Conduct by investigating and resolving complaints of possible student violations, both academic and non-academic. Any person may file a complaint against a student in possible violation of the Code of Student Conduct. The Center may also independently investigate information concerning student misconduct from any source, such as a police and/or press reports, even where no formal complaint has been filed. Once a complaint is filed through the Center it initiates a specific set of judicial procedures Resident Life Judicial Affairs In addition to the general Berkeley Campus Code of Conduct, residential community members are responsible for adhering to Residential Conduct Policies. If you are alleged to be responsible for violating Residential Conduct Policies or the Berkeley Campus Regulations you are guaranteed certain procedural rights. http://www.housing.berkeley.edu/student/judicial/policies/policies1.html Agency Contact Information
