        Safety and Security

        The Office of Campus Safety

        Kalamazoo College operates its own non-deputized campus safety program. Campus Safety patrols the campus 24 hours a day, responds to all requests for service and attend to situations around campus that affect the security of residents and visitors. There is increased exterior lighting, added outdoor emergency phones and trimmed shrubbery to make Kalamazoo College safer, and your weekend more enjoyable. Although these improvements and the presence of safety patrols greatly increase campus security, safety must always be of personal concern. Please report criminal acts and unusual or suspicious activity that occurs on college property immediately.
