Though she’s been on the job for a little over a month, USC’s new Department of Public Safety Chief Lauretta Hill already considers this university to be home. With nearly three decades in law enforcement under her belt, including the last six years as police chief at Dallas College — a community college system of nearly 75,000 students — the Texas native is looking forward to her and her family’s new life at USC.
MEET CHIEF HILL
USC DPS Chief Lauretta Hill will hold a “meet and greet” event Thursday on the University Park Campus. Visit the USC events calendar for details.
She comes to Los Angeles as the university is rolling out its ONE USC Safety Vision. Emerging from the recommendations made by USC’s DPS Community Advisory Board — which led a broad, inclusive, yearlong effort that engaged hundreds of students, faculty, staff and neighbors — the ONE USC Safety Vision aims to foster a holistic sense of safety in the Trojan community by upholding the values of trust, inclusion, respect and belonging.
