What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Grinnell College?

Grinnell provides campus security resources that include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night escort or transportation services. Students should learn how to reach campus security and receive emergency alerts when they enroll.

The college also provides channels for reporting emergencies and sexual misconduct, with support procedures that differ according to the type of concern. Its annual security report is the appropriate place to examine reported campus crime statistics and related policies. Such statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they cannot, on their own, characterize every student's experience of personal safety.
