Washington University has established the Neighborhood Security Patrol (NSP) to provide high-visibility nighttime security patrols to neighborhoods where the University owns off-campus housing. Five licensed security officers supervised by a WUPD sergeant patrol designated neighborhoods and high-traffic walkways. The security officers patrol is distinctively marked vehicles and wear hunter green shirts and tan pants. Through the use of these patrols, the University intends to enhance safety and to assist in addressing student behavioral issues that may impact the quality of life for all residents of the area.
