NEIGHBORHOOD PATROL

What is Neighborhood Patrol?

The University formed the Neighborhood Patrol in response to student safety and quality of life issues and concerns brought to our attention by residents of the neighborhood bordering the eastern edge of our campus. This program is a partnership between the residents, the University and the Syracuse Police Department.

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) has designated one patrol unit to respond to incidents involving Syracuse University students that occur in the patrol area. When necessary, DPS officers will document student violations of the law and the Syracuse University Code of Student Conduct. DPS officers will respond at the request of the Syracuse Police Department officers assigned to the Neighborhood Patrol. DPS also patrols the east neighborhoods, reporting safety issues and suspicious incidents directly to the Syracuse Police Department.

Patrol Area:

The designated patrol area consists of the area within the following boundary: Westcott Street to the east; Comstock Avenue to the west; Broad Street to the south; and Clarendon Avenue to the north. The Neighborhood Patrol boundaries have been extended to include the Greek houses in the Walnut Park area bounded by Walnut Avenue to the east, Walnut Place to the West, Harrison Street to the north, and Waverly Avenue to the south.
