What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Westfield State University?

Westfield State provides campus public-safety resources, including around-the-clock patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported residential security measures include electronically operated residence-hall entrances, and a late-night transport or escort service is listed among student safety resources.

Students should learn how to contact campus police or public safety, receive emergency notifications, and report an incident. For sexual misconduct, the university's reporting and support procedures serve a different purpose from emergency response; students may wish to review both before they need them. The annual security report is the appropriate source for defined campus-crime statistics and safety policies. Such statistics cover specified locations and reporting periods and cannot, on their own, establish how safe any person will feel or be.
