Brooklyn College prioritizes the safety of its students through a strong campus security system. The campus has its own public safety department, staffed with trained officers who patrol regularly and are available 24/7. Emergency phones and alert systems are strategically placed throughout the campus to allow students to quickly reach help if needed. Beyond physical safety, Brooklyn College invests in creating a respectful and inclusive community where harassment and discrimination are not tolerated. Students also receive safety tips during orientation, covering everything from securing belongings to knowing which numbers to call in case of emergencies. Since the college is located in New York City, students are encouraged to stay vigilant, especially when traveling late at night, but the surrounding area is generally safe with a strong community presence. The school collaborates with local law enforcement to maintain security both inside and around the campus, ensuring a supportive and secure environment for learning.
