What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of California-Riverside?

UC Riverside has a campus police department and emergency-response resources, including emergency communications and ways to request assistance. Reported campus provisions include around-the-clock patrols, emergency phones or alarms, controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort support.

Students should learn how UCR sends emergency alerts, where to report an incident, and which after-hours transportation service operates on the days they need it. Sexual misconduct can be reported through the university's Title IX processes, while confidential support and police reporting serve different purposes.

UCR's annual security report provides federally required crime disclosures and policy information. Those figures cover defined locations and reporting periods; they should not be treated as a complete measure of an individual's personal safety or used without context to compare campuses.
