The University of California and the Federated University Police Officers’ Association (FUPOA) Reach Tentative Contract Agreement

The University of California and the Federated University Police Officers' Association (FUPOA) have reached a tentative agreement on a new systemwide contract covering approximately 273 sworn, non-supervisory police officers across the University.

The four-year tentative agreement, which will run July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, provides significant wage increases and includes enhancements to longevity pay, additional compensation and allowances. The agreement follows six months of bargaining and reflects the parties' shared effort to address priorities on both sides. "We are grateful to both bargaining teams for the work that went into reaching this tentative agreement," said Missy Matella, associate vice president for Systemwide Employee and Labor Relations at the University of California. "Their commitment to productive negotiations helped us reach an agreement that recognizes the important role our police officers play across UC and reflects our commitment to these valued employees."

UC police officers help maintain safe and secure environments for students, faculty, staff, patients and visitors across the University's campuses and medical centers. Their work requires law enforcement expertise, sound judgment, engagement, and adaptability in serving UC's diverse communities.

Additional details about the four-year agreement will be shared following ratification by FUPOA members, which is expected in the coming days.
