The Office of Campus Safety provides police and security services, student escort services, security patrol of the campus, fire and personal safety programs, and traffic control. Campus Safety Officers are on duty 24 hours a day at the College and are radio dispatched to assist in and provide these services. Officers are appointed Special Conservators of the Peace and have arrest authority on College property. The Safety Office is located on the first floor of Bowman Hall. The office can be contacted 24 hours a day at 540-375-2310 or by using one of the direct-dial emergency “Red Phones” located in many buildings on campus. Yellow “Access/Emergency” telephones are located outside each residence hall main entrance.

Each fall Roanoke College publishes an “Annual Security Report” in compliance with the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Higher Education Amendments of 1998.The report contains information about safety and security procedures and policies on our campus. Included are campus crime statistics for the most recent three calendar years. The report is distributed to all students and is available to prospective students upon request by contacting the Admissions Office.
