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

DU provides campus safety patrols, emergency communication resources, and late-night transportation or escort support. Its reported facilities also include around-the-clock emergency telephone or alarm devices and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive university emergency alerts, contact Campus Safety, and report a concern. Sexual misconduct reports and requests for support have their own university procedures and resources. DU's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine its published Clery Act crime statistics and policies; reported incidents should be read with their dates, locations, and reporting definitions in mind rather than treated as a complete measure of personal safety.
