Action Plan

Party Patrol

This component has two major objectives: (1) to increase overall control of off-campus parties, and (2) to hold the party host accountable. The party patrol is a special squad of officers that operates on evenings when the likelihood of loud parties and noise complaints are high. The party patrol can respond to nuisance party calls and/or patrol student party areas. Party hosts may also call to request assistance with shutting down an out-of-control party. Party patrol officers adhere to appropriate enforcement protocols.

Party Patrol Frequency:

Conduct as many highly visible party patrol operations as deemed appropriate during the first 6 -8 weeks of the Fall academic sessions.
