Cal State Fullerton’s new police chief Raymund Aguirre begins his tenure on campus tomorrow.
Aguirre comes to the campus after serving as chief for the San Diego Community College District Police, the second-largest community college district in California, and San Jose-Evergreen College District, where he rose in ranks from police sergeant.

The department offers live scan fingerprints, safety escorts/community services, Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) training, a ride-along program and safety presentations.
