What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Point Loma Nazarene University?

PLNU reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn how to reach campus public safety and receive emergency notifications when they enroll.

The university's published emergency procedures and annual security report are the appropriate places to check current reporting channels, crime statistics, and response guidance. Crime figures cover specified reporting categories and periods; they cannot by themselves measure every aspect of a student's personal safety. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct should use PLNU's current Title IX reporting and support information, which explains both reporting options and available assistance.
