Washington University is fortunate to be situated in an area with wonderful neighborhoods close to the campus.
The University values its relationship with these neighborhoods, and we expect our students who live off-campus to be responsible citizens who are respectful of their neighbors.
As part of Washington University’s ongoing effort to support student independent living in harmony with area residential communities, the following Neighborhood Security Program has been instituted. Neighborhood Patrols: Effective in early September 2002. the contract security bike patrols will be replaced with the Washington University Neighborhood Security Patrol (NSP).
These security guards will be University employees; hired, trained and supervised by the Washington University Police Department.
On patrol seven days a week from 6pm until 2am, these University employees will be assigned to one of three distinct zones, one of these zones is in the Skinker-DeBaliviere Neighborhood. Its boundaries are: Forest Park Parkway to the south; Kingsbury to the north; DesPeres to the east; and Skinker to the west. Security officers will monitor activities in and around Universityowned properties and in areas where students frequently walk or gather, report suspicious activity to municipal law enforcement personnel, and remind students of the need for them to behave responsibly as well as the consequences (civil and University sanctions) for disruptive behavior. Student Education: The University has developed a new publication entitled, Living Off-Campus: A Guide for Washington University Students.
This publication spells out the University’s expectations of behavior for students who live off-campus in residential neighborhoods.
This publication will be distributed to all students living off-campus in neighborhoods patrolled by the NSP.

Sandra Turner, WU Campus Police at 314-935-7245 or the Office of Community and Governmental Relations at 314-935-5752.
