What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Western Colorado University?

Western Colorado University reports round-the-clock patrol by trained security personnel, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and a late-night transport or escort service. Students should check current public safety instructions for how to request help, report an incident, or receive emergency notifications.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for its published campus crime statistics and reporting procedures. Those statistics cover specified locations, categories, and reporting years; they should not be read as a complete measure of any individual's safety. Students should also review Western's procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining confidential or other support, since reporting options and support services serve different needs.
