Q: What kind of security exists for off-campus student residents?
A: Security off-campus is the responsibility of the Syracuse Police Department. The Neighborhood Safety Patrol provides increased police service to the neighborhood adjacent to campus. The Neighborhood Safety Patrol is a partnership among residents of the University neighborhood, the Syracuse Property Owners Association, the Syracuse Police Department, and Syracuse University. The patrol is part of an effort to deter criminal activity, promote resident safety, and improve the quality of life in the neighborhood. During the academic year, the patrol operates for four hours on Sunday through Thursday nights, and for six hours on Friday and Saturday nights.
