San Diego State University Police Department

Big congratulations to Cpl. Peterson on receiving the Aztec Achievement Awards’ Presidential Leadership Award 👏🎉

This prestigious honor is awarded to a select few, hand-picked by the Associated Students President!

He shares knowledge, presents resources, jumps in on projects, and shows genuine care for the student experience. His presence is felt across campus, from the Campus Community Commission for University Police to SDSU events and even in the classroom. His commitment to inclusion and fostering a culture of safety that reflects the diversity of our community is something worth celebrating every day.

Thank you for everything you do, Mark. 🏆

UPD is proud to recognize Officer Rogers for receiving the Enough is Enough Award today—a reflection of courage, commitment, and the kind of leadership that protects and serves our community every single day.

CONGRATULATIONS OFFICER ROGERS!!!! 🎉

Proof that communication REALLY matters… 😅

We asked for names on the gift bags and got names… plus the instructions for extra ✨detail✨

Good thing our dispatchers are a lot better at communication than this order was 👀📞

All jokes aside, these are the voices keeping things running behind the scenes, and we appreciate them more than words (and parentheses) can say 💙

💙 Ever heard of the Blue Envelope Project? 💙

It’s a program designed to support individuals with autism or other communication differences during interactions with law enforcement. The blue envelope helps share important information and provides guidance so both the individual and officer can communicate more clearly, safely, and with understanding.

Good news! Blue Envelope materials are available FREE at the University Police Department 📍
5499 Re*****on Road (right next to Peterson Gym)

Stop by and pick one up for yourself or a loved one!
