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

Bridgewater State University has campus public-safety resources, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency reporting equipment. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transport or escort service.

Students should learn how BSU sends emergency alerts, how to reach campus police, and how to request an escort before they need those services. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine its published crime statistics, reporting procedures, and emergency policies; reported incidents cover defined locations and periods and cannot capture every aspect of personal safety. Sexual misconduct concerns may also be reported through the university's Title IX process, which is separate from deciding whether to make a police report.
