What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Radford University?

Radford University has a campus police and public-safety function, emergency communication procedures, and ways to report incidents. Reported campus measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night escort or transportation service.

Students should learn how university emergency alerts reach them and which service to call for an immediate emergency; in an emergency, call 911. The university also provides processes for reporting sexual misconduct and seeking related support. Reporting, confidential support, and a formal investigation can be different processes, so the applicable university policy matters.

Radford's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its published campus crime statistics, reporting definitions, and safety policies. Such figures cover specified locations and reporting years; they cannot, on their own, describe every person's experience or predict an individual's safety.
