LOS ANGELES - Campus police at California State University, Northridge, have been trained to respond to potential terrorist attacks.

The Northridge campus was the first in the public university system to enroll its officers in a federal Justice Department training course on dealing with chemical, biological and nuclear terrorist strikes. Police at nearly half the 23 CSU campuses have undergone anti-terrorism training.

"Universities are soft targets," said campus police Chief Anne Glavin, who heads the 26-officer force. "We're open 24-7, we have stadiums and everything's open for easy student access."

The CSU training initiative began last fall.

To bolster the program, the Northridge campus secured $75,000 in federal grants for hazardous-materials gear and other equipment for its officers. Campus officials also have a $165,000 emergency mobile command unit.

The University of California, meanwhile, has its own security plan. Several University of California, Los Angeles, police officers and administrators also have received federal training to respond to attacks.
