Increased Safety Measures

HEIGHTENED SAFETY MEASURES

The university is increasing its safety and security measures off-campus in the university park area.  Please remain alert and vigilant when out in areas adjacent to campus – walk in pairs or groups and utilize the ‘Safe Ride’ program or the ‘Safe Walk’ feature on the LiveSafe mobile app.

These additional measures include:

  • Expanding the number of visible officer foot patrols
  • Adding mobile DPS patrol officers on electric scooters for increased visibility
  • Shifting “yellow jacket” security staff to high visibility areas along the Figueroa Corridor

Please continue to take advantage of these ongoing safety programs:

  • The ‘Safe Ride’ program continues to operate with free Lyft ridesin the patrol and response area
  • Limited bus servicecontinues between the UPC/HSC campuses and Union Station
  • The LiveSafemobile app has a ‘SafeWalk’ feature that allows students to let others know where they are going. The LiveSafe app can be downloaded at the App Store or on Google Play.
  • DPS monitors cameras 24/7 both on and off-campus and has dedicated personnel on duty at all times for an immediate response


In case of emergency, please call 213-740-4321 or 911 or report via LiveSafe.
