  • Explosive devices will not be returned even if they are voluntarily disclosed.  All explosive devices will be disposed of accordingly.

In the event a prohibited firearm/weapon or explosive device is found on University property the items will immediately be confiscated, secured and processed according to local/state laws and University policy. Any individual or person(s) (group of individuals) in possession of prohibited firearm/weapon or explosive device may be subject to arrest by Redlands Police Department and disciplined by the University’s Code of Student Conduct policies and procedures.  The firearm will be confiscated and processed according to local/state laws and University policy.
