The USC Department of Public Safety regularly patrols campus and the surrounding neighborhoods. Their force consists of both police officers and unarmed patrol officers. Residing in a large metropolitan area such as Los Angeles requires a more proactive approach to safety. During orientation, a DPS officer will brief students on local safety, emergency procedures, and reducing risks.
