Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) Transitions to the Office of Campus and Community Safety
As part of UCLA’s ongoing commitment to enhancing campus safety and strategically aligning resources, the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) transitioned to the Office of Campus and Community Safety effective March 1, 2026.
This organizational move supports the continued growth of BIT while strengthening collaboration across campus safety initiatives. By integrating BIT within the Office of Campus and Community Safety, UCLA is further advancing a coordinated, proactive approach to promoting the well-being and safety of the campus community.
The Behavioral Intervention Team will continue to provide support, assessment, and intervention services, while benefiting from closer alignment with the broader mission and resources of the Office of Campus and Community Safety.
About the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT)
The safety of faculty, staff, students and visitors is a top priority for UCLA. Violence or threats of harm conflict with our campus values and may violate the law. BIT was established to evaluate and address concerns about violence, and potential violence, at UCLA.
The mission of BIT is to promote campus safety by identifying threats of harm (and potential threats) and evaluating information reported to BIT, including early warning signs of possible disruptive and/or violent behavior. BIT’s goal is to increase the security of our campus and facilities by identifying potential threats to the safety of our community and taking steps to mitigate those threats.
Who We Are
BIT is a multidisciplinary team consisting of representatives from the Office of Legal Affairs, Staff & Faculty Counseling Center, Insurance & Risk Management, UCLA Police Department, and Employee & Labor Relations. Faculty and staff may refer matters to BIT, if they have concerns that someone they know may be at risk of harming themselves or others, or if they are concerned that someone poses a significant disruption to the campus environment. Behavior does not need to be illegal to be of concern.
