Frequently Asked Questions

Who can use Western Foot Patrol's services?

Anyone on campus can use Western Foot Patrol - students, staff, faculty and visitors.

Can I call Foot Patrol during the day to pre-arrange an escort?

Western Foot Patrol does not make pre-arranged appointments for safe escorts. The reason for this is that we do not know how busy the service will be each evening, therefore it is best to operate the escort service on a first come, first served basis. The average wait time for a safe escort during the week is 5-7 minutes.

Can I get the SUV to drive me instead of walk?

The SUV is dispatched if it is the best choice for an escort, not by request.

Do you walk to King's, Brescia or Huron?

Yes, we provide full service to all the affiliate colleges.
