Student Community Service Official Program
Request a Safety Escort
Call (858) 534-9255, or extension 4-WALK from a campus phone, year-round between sunset and sunrise, to request that a student Community Service Official escort you to your campus destination. After 1 a.m., University Safety Officials may provide this service.
You can arrange a recurring escort so a CSO will meet you at the same place and time, which makes late-night service more convenient.
Student Community Service Officers Promote Campus Safety
Student Community Service Officers have supported safety on our campus for more than 40 years and the Police Department is always looking for students who are willing to serve. Dianna Lopez shares what it’s like to work as a CSO.
