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

Bridgewater College reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, 24-hour emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn the college's current emergency contacts, notification procedures, and reporting options during orientation rather than relying on a single measure of campus security.

Campus safety also involves procedures for medical emergencies, concerning behavior, and reports of sexual misconduct. The college's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine federally reported campus crime categories, reporting locations, and safety policies. Those statistics have defined reporting periods and geographic boundaries; they cannot, by themselves, measure every student's personal risk.
