Drake University

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

Drake provides round-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices, along with a late-night escort or transportation service. Residence halls have electronically operated entrances. These measures are resources and procedures, not a guarantee against crime.

Students should learn how to contact Drake Public Safety, sign up for university emergency alerts, and report a concern before they need those services. Reports of sexual misconduct involve separate university reporting and support processes, including options for obtaining assistance without first deciding whether to pursue a disciplinary complaint. Drake's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published Clery Act crime statistics and safety policies; those statistics cover specified locations and reporting categories rather than every incident that could affect a student.
