What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at The Catholic University of America?

Catholic University maintains campus public-safety resources that include around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and late-night transport or escort service.

Students should learn how to contact the university's Department of Public Safety, receive emergency alerts, and report an incident. The university's emergency procedures and annual security report are the appropriate sources for current contacts, reporting routes, and federally reported campus-crime statistics. Sexual misconduct concerns may involve separate Title IX reporting and support processes. Crime figures, if consulted, should be read with their reporting period and geographic definitions in mind; no single statistic is a complete measure of personal safety.
