What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Bates College?
Bates has trained personnel providing around-the-clock campus security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night transport or escort service. These are resources students can use; they do not eliminate risk.
Students should learn how to contact campus safety, receive emergency notifications, and report an incident when they arrive. The college also maintains procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and seeking support. Its annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime figures and safety policies; those figures should be read with their reporting periods and geographic definitions in mind rather than treated as a complete measure of personal safety.
