Safety & Security

Four locks in a row.

 

Safety is the number one priority here in Housing. See what we offer and what services are close by below. 

Community Service Officers (CSOs) patrol Housing on foot, vehicles, and at the Public Safety Office, located next to the Community Kitchen in South Village, patrol Housing from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

If you need their assistance, call Campus Police at 323-343-3700.

CSOs will always be in uniform and their last names are prominently displayed on their uniform shirt or jacket.

Emergency Phones are yellow posts with a blue light and are located throughout the housing complex. These non-dial phones are directly linked to the University Police and may be used in the event of an emergency.

The Public Safety Police Station is located on the south end of campus (north end of Lot 1).

If you would like to contact the Police Station or Public Safety, call 323-343-3700.

Our University Police proved a Public Safety Escort Service that provides a personal student escort service for students, faculty, staff and visitors, 24/7. This free service is available to you at night and when walking to parking lots or to the housing complex. Making use of this service can greatly improve your personal safety.

Please call 323-343-3700 for more information.

If you're experiencing an issue after-hours, there is always a Resident Assistant on duty who can be contacted.

Please take these precautions to keep our community secure:

  • Please make sure that all doors and windows are closed and locked. Always check before you leave for the day and go to sleep at night.
  • If you have a door or window that doesn’t lock, please let us know immediately and complete a Work Order.
  • Secure your personal items in your bedroom and lock the door when you leave. Remember that your roommates may or may not be responsible in securing the apartment before they leave.
  • Never loan your personal apartment key or One Card to anyone (including your roommates): it is a policy violation to do so.
  • Be aware of your surroundings, particularly at night, in and around campus. You may call the Eagle Patrol to escort you to and from classes or your vehicle.
  • If you have concerns, contact your Resident Assistant.
  • Report all suspicious activity to the Campus Police at 323-343-3700.
