From Stanford University's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Support the mission and goals of the Public Safety Department and of the University by contributing to the safety and security of the University's property, people, and visitors.
The Stanford University Department of Public Safety (SUDPS) exists to provide a safe, secure atmosphere which is conducive to freedom of expression and movement, for all people and their property at Stanford University, within the constraints of federal, state, and local laws and ordinances.
SUDPS is a private-employer public safety department.
Peace officer authority
Sworn personnel at SUDPS are deputized as Santa Clara County Reserve Deputy Sheriffs pursuant to California Penal Code § 830.75. While on duty, they hold full law enforcement powers to make arrests and enforce state law and county ordinances throughout California.
Employment and labor relations
SUDPS personnel are covered by federal labor law (the National Labor Relations Act) rather than California's public-sector labor relations statutes. Deputies (line level) are represented by the Stanford Deputy Sheriff's Association (SDSA), and terms of employment are governed by the MOA between Stanford and the SDSA in addition to university practices.
Retirement
Sergeants participate in Stanford's private-sector retirement program, which is a defined-contribution plan with employer contributions.
Position Summary
Sergeants are first-line supervisors responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations and performance of personnel (both sworn and non-sworn) who work in a variety of department units including: patrol, investigations, special events, records, parking and traffic, and administration.
Supervisory duties include but are not limited to: carrying out and overseeing general law enforcement/public safety functions; setting goals and objectives for the unit; contributing to the fulfillment of objectives; motivating and developing personnel; ensuring that personnel meet performance expectations; providing documentation of performance; and implementing strategies that enhance department operations.
Sergeants are expected to work closely and collaboratively with their peers within the department to effectively coordinate the day-to-day operations of the various units as well as the department.
A SUDPS Sergeant must maintain proficiency and exercise the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to perform basic law enforcement functions as well as directly supervise personnel assigned to their work group. Required knowledge includes, but is not limited to: pertinent federal, state, and local laws, codes, and regulations; rules of evidence pertaining to search and seizure and preservation of evidence; techniques and applications of self-defense and proper use of force; use, operation, and maintenance of police equipment,
vehicles, and tools; department policies and procedures; and institutional policies and procedures (such as the Administrative Guide).
In addition to their supervisory responsibilities, Sergeants are expected to perform the same basic job duties as line personnel, including investigating crimes and arresting individuals, issuing citations, and participating in community outreach activities. Sergeants must balance their administrative responsibilities with in-field supervision, spending considerable time working in the field and directly with the staff in their assigned unit.
SUDPS personnel are considered "essential" or "required" University personnel and shall respond to campus when directed to do so, even with little advance notice. Sergeants are integral to the department's overall emergency response efforts. Absent a higher-ranking sworn SUDPS member, assuring shift operational efficiency is the primary responsibility of a Sergeant.
Work is performed primarily on-site; the position is subject to shift work including day, swing, and night shifts.
Job Responsibilities
Duties may include, but are not limited to, the following:
A minimum of three years of recent full-time experience (post-FTO) at a law enforcement agency performing duties comparable to those of a peace officer at Stanford University. Campus law enforcement experience preferred but not required.

Compensation

Stanford University provides pay ranges representing its good-faith estimate of what the university reasonably expects to pay for a position. The pay offered to a selected candidate will be determined based on factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the qualifications of the selected candidate, departmental budget availability, internal equity, geographic location, and external market pay for comparable jobs.
Candidates evaluating this range against other Bay Area law enforcement agencies should also weigh total compensation, including retirement structure (see below), which differs meaningfully from public-agency pension plans.
