- It is both a Good Samaritan and Medical Amnesty policy, encouraging a shared responsibility among UC Davis students to take action. The protocol applies to both the person experiencing a medical emergency and the friend/bystander calling for help.
- The Safe Party Initiative is a collaborative effort between the City of Davis and the University of California, Davis and is endorsed by the Davis Alcohol and Other Drug Advisory Group.
