Polk State College

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

Polk State College reports trained security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices available around the clock. Students should also learn the reporting and emergency procedures for the specific campus or center where they attend classes.

The college's published safety materials and annual security report are the appropriate places to check current emergency contacts, notification procedures, and federally reported campus crime statistics. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of every risk a student might encounter. Students seeking help with sexual misconduct or other safety concerns should use the college's designated reporting and support channels. Availability of a late-night escort should be confirmed rather than assumed when planning an evening schedule.
