Nighttime Safety and Security

The safety and security of all UC San Diego affiliates is our highest priority. At night, we urge you to take extra precautions to help ensure that you remain safe. Please see the safety and security tips and resources below from the Police Department and Transportation Services.

Practice situational awareness: Do not wear headphones and always be aware of your surroundings.
Call (858) 534-9255 to request a safe walk home from a Community Service Official.
Use the blue Call Boxes across campus for a direct emergency line to campus police dispatch.
Walk on lighted pathways and in areas that are traveled by other people for highest visibility. Travel in groups when possible.
Wear light colors and reflective vests or arm bands to be seen by motorists and others.
Triton Transit On-Demand is open to our La Jolla campus community and transports passengers between Triton Transit shuttle stops on weeknights from 10 p.m. to midnight. Request rides through the Triton Mobility Web App or download the Triton Mobility app from the Google Play or Apple App stores.

Call or text 911 in case of emergencies. Contact (858) 534-4357 (HELP) or email askacop@ucsd.edu to report unsafe conditions or receive non-emergency assistance.
