DePauw reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These are available safety measures, not assurances that incidents cannot occur.
Students should learn how to contact campus public safety, receive emergency alerts, request an escort, and report a concern. The university's reporting and support procedures for sexual misconduct are also important to review before they are needed. For a documented account of reported campus crime, prospective students can consult DePauw's annual security report, paying attention to its reporting years, locations, and definitions rather than treating a single statistic as a complete measure of personal safety.
