Title: An Econometric Analysis of the Efficacy of Parking Garage Security in Downtown Eugene, Oregon

Summary: The Parking Services program for the City of Eugene currently hires DePaul security guards to patrol downtown Eugene parking facilities in order to record incidents and deter criminal activity. This paper conducts analysis to determine the existence of a deterrent effect from increased security presence, in addition to assessing the efficacy and efficiency of Parking Servicesʼ security guard allocation. Empirically we find a significant deterrent effect does exist, but this effect is not uniform. We find differences in the deterrent effect across categories of offenses as well as across different parking structures. Using these findings, we suggest various ways in which Parking Services can maximize the efficiency of its downtown security presence.
