What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Purdue University?
Purdue has campus police and emergency-response procedures for its West Lafayette community. Reported measures include round-the-clock patrols, emergency phones or alarms, electronically controlled residence entrances, and late-night transportation or escort options.
Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts and how to report an immediate threat, a nonemergency concern, or sexual misconduct. Emergency notifications, police reporting, and confidential support are different channels; the appropriate one depends on the situation. Purdue's annual security report is the place to examine federally required campus-crime disclosures and safety policies. Its statistics cover specified reporting periods and locations, so they should not be read as a complete measure of any individual's safety.
