What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Naval Postgraduate School?

NPS operates in a controlled-access military environment. Students and visitors should follow the installation's identification, entry, and emergency procedures rather than assume campus access works like it does at a public civilian university.

For an immediate emergency, people on campus should use 911 and follow directions from installation security and emergency personnel. Students should learn how official alerts reach them, where to report a safety concern, and which office handles sexual misconduct reports and support requests. An official annual security report, where applicable, is the appropriate source for reported campus-crime figures; such figures require their reporting period and location definitions to be meaningful.
