Safety Trinity College employs its own security force to help preserve the safety of Trinity community members. Being safe, however, is not just a matter of having a security force. You can avoid precarious situations by following a few recommended precautions. Below are safety tips recommended by Campus Safety and important emergency numbers. Remember the ultimate responsibility for a crime rests with the perpetrator, not the victim.

1. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid dark, secluded areas.

2. If you think you are being followed, walk quickly to a lighted area or group of people.

3. Don’t walk alone at night. You can call for an escort from Campus Safety if you need to go out at night.

4. Keep your door locked when you are in or out of your room. Always ask who is at your door before you open it.
