What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Bakersfield College?

Bakersfield College provides campus security services, including patrol by trained personnel. Reported services also include a late-night transportation or escort option. Students should verify the current operating hours and request procedure before relying on that service for an evening class.

For an immediate emergency, students should call 911; for a campus-specific concern, they should use the college's published public safety contacts and reporting procedures. The college's emergency communications and annual security disclosures are more useful for planning than an unsupported claim that any campus is categorically safe or unsafe. Students can also consult the college's current procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining support, since those processes are distinct from a general security report.
