What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Santa Monica College?

Santa Monica College maintains campus public-safety services and emergency procedures. Reported provisions include trained personnel on patrol around the clock, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and late-night transport or escort assistance.

Students should learn how to contact campus police, receive emergency notifications and report a concerning incident at the location where they take classes. The college also has processes for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining support. Its annual security report is the appropriate source for federally reported campus crime figures and policy details; those figures cover defined locations and reporting periods, not every incident a student might encounter in the surrounding city.
