Chief Lauretta Hill to lead DPS
USC has appointed Lauretta Hill—an accomplished law enforcement leader with nearly three decades of experience—as Assistant Vice President and Chief of Public Safety. Starting January 23, she’ll bring her transformational leadership to USC after six years as Chief of Police at Dallas College, where she unified seven campus departments into one cohesive agency and enhanced transparency and accountability. Known as a team builder, Hill's inclusive, community-oriented approach aligns with USC’s “ONE USC Safety Vision,” aimed at ensuring that every student, staff member, faculty, and neighbor feels respected and safe.
