UW Tacoma provides campus security services, emergency communications, and ways to request assistance or report concerns. Reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, late-night escort or transport assistance, and electronically controlled entrances to student housing.
Students should enroll in the applicable UW emergency-alert system and learn how to contact campus security, including when to call 911 for an immediate emergency. The university's annual security report is the appropriate place to examine formally reported campus crime statistics and safety policies; those figures reflect defined reporting rules and locations, not every incident a person might experience downtown. Sexual misconduct concerns may be reported through university processes, with support and reporting options that differ according to the circumstances and the assistance a student wants.
