What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at University of Nevada-Las Vegas?

UNLV has a university police and public-safety operation, emergency communications procedures, and resources for reporting incidents. Its reported safety measures include around-the-clock patrols, emergency telephones or alarms, late-night escort or transport options, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances.

Students should learn how to receive campus alerts, report an immediate emergency, and request an escort when the service is operating. Sexual misconduct concerns can be reported through the university's designated reporting and support processes, which are distinct from a police report. The annual security report is the appropriate place to review federally reported campus crime figures, reporting definitions, and prevention policies. Such statistics describe reported incidents in specified locations and periods; they are not a complete measure of any individual's risk.
