What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at West Texas A & M University?

West Texas A&M University has campus security resources that include trained personnel on patrol, emergency telephone or alarm devices, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn the university's current emergency-notification and reporting procedures when they enroll.

The university's police and student-support resources are the appropriate starting points for reporting an immediate threat, a crime or a concerning incident. Sexual misconduct reports may also involve separate Title IX reporting and support processes. The annual security report is the place to examine officially reported campus crime statistics and stated safety policies; those statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods, rather than every incident a student might encounter. Building access controls and patrols are measures, not a promise of personal safety.
