Multiple Methods of Safety
University of Southern California - Department of Public Safety
The Department of Public Safety uses a unique multi-layered approach to public safety at the University of Southern California, which we call "Minimizing the Spaces". This utilizes highly trained personnel working in partnership with the LAPD, Compstat (using computer analysis of crime data for strategies and deployment), partnering with private security, and technology which includes over 150 actively monitored cameras and over 1000 cameras used for evidentiary purposes, 65 of which are LPRs (license plate recognition). And, importantly, student safety education. This approach has resulted in a 46% drop in crime over the course of the last seven years.
