There are various patrols in near-campus neighborhoods. The University Area Crime-control Team (UACT) is staffed jointly by the SU Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Syracuse Police Department (SPD). The Neighborhood Safety Patrol (NSP) is also a partnership between the Syracuse Police Department (SPD) and Syracuse University’s Department of Public Safety (DPS).
Orange Watch is a DPS program that provides an expanded DPS presence in key areas on North and South campuses and in the neighborhoods north and east of campus.
