Communication, awareness, and prevention are essential for personal safety.

At Rensselaer, we take a proactive approach to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all.

The RPI Department of Public Safety provides:

• 24-hour campus patrols (by car, foot, and bicycle),
• escort services for students walking alone at night,
• emergency call boxes throughout campus, and
• safety education.

All residence halls are accessible only with student electronic key cards.

The Department of Public Safety also provides 24-hour per day, 365-day response to life-safety incidents, coordinates internal and external resources to assist the management of critical incidents, and conducts awareness programs to proactively assist its community members in the maintenance of personal safety.
