Campus Safety

USC Aiken delivers campus safety through the University’s Police Department, a professional law enforcement organization with officers who are state-certified and protect the campus 365/24/7. Officers are trained to provide emergency response to crimes in progress and all are certified medical first responders. They also provide escort services, parking lot assistance (unlock cars and jump starts), and crime prevention programs at no cost. Examples of these programs include alcohol and drug education, sexual assault awareness, and personal security.
