The Department of Safety and Security provides Dartmouth College with professional safety and security services that include incident response, investigation, and follow up of all security related matters that come to our attention. We strive to engage our community via education, information sharing and training programs, as our strongest ally in deterrence and prevention. The women and men of this department are dedicated to the Mission of the College and, as stated in our Mission Statement, to the maintenance of a campus environment that supports academic excellence, independent thought, and cultural collaboration.
You will often hear that Dartmouth is a special place; its depth of character, traditions, diversity, commitment to academic excellence, as well as its beautiful natural surroundings contribute to making Dartmouth such an exemplary academic environment.
