Parking on Campus

Key features of the “LiveSafe” App include:

• Immediate “push button” calls to either the Department of Public Safety or 911 for immediate response during an emergency.
• Anonymous messaging for reporting suspicious behavior, unsafe situations, or any other safety concerns.
  • A “Safewalk” function, that allows users to alert selected friends that they are on the way to a destination (for example, “On my way back to Parkside from Leavey Library, be there in 15 minutes”) so they can monitor their progress and help keep them safe.

Blue light emergency phones are located throughout the University Park and Health Sciences campuses. The phones are connected to the USC Department of Public Safety’s 24-hour communications center and identify the phone location if the caller is unable to talk. The phones can be used to request an escort, report suspicious activity, and report crimes.
