Dear Peralta Community,
As I shared back in April, we’ve initiated a broader exploration into strategies and options that will support our long-term strategic vision for public safety. Given prominent concerns around safety and security in my districtwide listening sessions and the foundational leadership of the Holistic Safety and Wellness Committee, we are poised to articulate a transformative and holistic plan for safety and security that centers our District’s mission and vision, and the Board’s June 2021 Resolution Renewing Support for the Holistic Safety and Wellness of District Students.
We want to provide useful information about
our Campus Public Safety department an
d share safety tips for keeping us and our campuses safe.

The Director of Public Safety is a new role created as part of the District’s vision for a holistic community-oriented approach to campus safety and security. Mr. Thomas, who has extensive experience as both a law enforcement officer and a college educator, will start on November 15, 2021.
