Palo Alto College

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

Palo Alto College provides campus security measures that include around-the-clock patrols by trained personnel and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Students should familiarize themselves with the district's current emergency procedures and the ways to report an urgent concern.

For an immediate emergency, calling 911 is the appropriate first response. For nonemergency reporting, students can use the campus or Alamo Colleges public safety channels identified in current campus materials. The college also provides personal or psychological counseling; students seeking support after sexual misconduct should consult its current reporting and support procedures, including the available confidential and nonconfidential options.

The institution's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus-crime figures and policy details. Such statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods, and they should not be read as a complete measure of every person's safety experience.
