Ferrum reports trained security patrols, around-the-clock emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn the current procedures for requesting help rather than assume an escort or patrol is available in every location at every moment.
For a fuller assessment, consult the college's current annual security report. It should identify reporting channels, emergency procedures, policies concerning sexual misconduct, and federally required crime statistics for specified locations and years. Those statistics require context: they reflect reported incidents under defined rules, not a complete measure of every person's experience or a prediction of individual risk.
