CSU Channel Islands Police Department

Safety starts with practice. Yesterday, the CSU Channel Islands Police Department conducted a building evacuation drill to help ensure our campus community is prepared in the event of an emergency.

These drills are designed to strengthen awareness, improve response times, and reinforce the steps needed to safely and calmly exit a building when it matters most. Practicing together helps students, staff, and faculty understand evacuation procedures, identify safe exit routes, and build confidence in emergency response.

A special thank you to our Building Marshals for their leadership and support in helping students, staff, and facility safely evacuate the buildings. Your guidance plays an important role in keeping our campus prepared and protected.

Please join us in welcoming Captain Britta Steinbrenner, who was sworn in yesterday as the new Captain of the CSU Channel Islands Police Department.

Captain Steinbrenner brings an exceptional depth of leadership and experience, with 35 years of service at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, where she retired at the rank of Captain. She also previously served as Chief of the Department of Public Safety at Pepperdine University.

We are proud to have Captain Steinbrenner join the CSUCI community and look forward to her leadership and commitment to safety on our campus. Welcome, Captain Steinbrenner!
