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

Kentucky State reports round-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 measures provide ways to seek assistance; they do not eliminate personal risk.

Students should learn how to report an emergency, sign up for campus alerts, and find the current procedures for incidents involving sexual misconduct or other safety concerns. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for defined campus-crime statistics and reporting policies. Such statistics cover specified locations and periods, so they should not be read as a complete measure of an individual's safety.
