Berklee College of Music

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Berklee College of Music?

Berklee maintains a public safety function for its Boston campus and publishes emergency and reporting information for students. Because its facilities sit within a city neighborhood, students should learn the procedures for both campus buildings and the surrounding area.

The institution's annual security and fire safety report is the appropriate source for its reported crime statistics, reporting policies, and emergency procedures. Such statistics cover specified locations and reporting years; they are not a complete measure of every student's personal risk. Students can also consult Berklee's Title IX information for sexual misconduct reporting and support options, including how to seek help without assuming every report follows the same process.

At orientation or before arrival, it is useful to identify the current emergency contact method, how campus alerts are delivered, and the reporting channel for an incident in a residence hall, rehearsal space, or off-campus location. Specific escort or late-night transportation arrangements should be confirmed in current public safety guidance.
