What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Whittier College?

Whittier College reports around-the-clock security patrols and emergency telephone or alarm devices. Reported measures also include electronically controlled residence-hall entrances and a late-night transport or escort service.

Students should learn how to request an escort, receive emergency notifications, and report an incident before they need those services. The college's annual security report is the appropriate source for defined campus-crime categories and reporting periods; those statistics should not be mistaken for a complete measure of every student's personal safety. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct should use the college's current reporting and support procedures, including its Title IX information, to distinguish confidential support from formal reporting channels.
