What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at California State University-Sacramento?

Sacramento State has a campus police department and emergency-response procedures. Reported campus measures include around-the-clock patrols and emergency communication devices, electronic access controls at residence halls, and a late-night escort or transportation option.

Students should learn how to receive campus emergency notifications, where to report a crime or concerning incident, and how to obtain help outside normal office hours. The university also publishes an annual security report under federal requirements. Its reported incidents are useful context, but they reflect particular reporting categories and locations rather than a complete measure of any person's risk.

Sexual misconduct can be reported through the university's designated reporting channels, with support and response procedures governed by applicable campus policy. Students seeking a confidential conversation should distinguish confidential counseling resources from offices that must act on a formal report. Hours and procedures for escorts and other services should be checked with campus police before relying on them for a particular trip.
