Virginia Military Institute

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Virginia Military Institute?

VMI maintains campus security and emergency-response resources for its residential Corps of Cadets. Reported measures include around-the-clock patrol by trained personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residential entrances, and a late-night escort or transportation service.

Cadets should learn how to contact VMI Police, receive campus emergency notifications, and report a concern through the appropriate chain of command or campus office. Sexual misconduct can also be reported through the institution's Title IX procedures; students seeking confidential support should check which counseling or health resources can provide it.

VMI's annual security report is the appropriate place to review its published crime statistics, reporting definitions, and emergency policies. Those statistics cover specified categories and locations and should not be read as a complete measure of an individual's personal safety.
