Patrol Area Versus Clery Geography
DPS’s patrol area, which includes a 2.5 mile radius of USC-owned property as well as public and private spaces, differs from Clery geography. DPS monitors this larger geographic area to ensure community safety; Clery geography is used specifically for federal crime reporting and only includes USC-owned property and designated adjacent property and city streets. For more information on federal reporting, visit our Clery section or view our Clery On-Campus Maps.
