 

#  Campus Safety

You deserve to feel safe, supported, and confident wherever you are on campus. At Montclair, your safety is a top priority. We have resources, systems, and people in place to help you feel secure as you learn, live, and connect.

 

  

## Campus Safety Resources

From prevention to response, we provide campus safety resources designed to keep you informed, protected, and supported wherever you are on campus.

### Blue Light Campus

You’ll find blue light emergency call boxes located throughout campus, so help is never far away. Just one press of a button and you’re instantly connected to Montclair’s University Police Department, available 24/7 if you need assistance or feel unsafe.

### Rave Alerts

You’ll stay informed in real time with Rave Alerts. Important updates — like campus closures, weather issues, or safety notices — are sent straight to your phone via text, with follow-up details delivered to your Montclair email. Your number is automatically enrolled through your emergency contact info, so you’re always looped in when it matters.

### See Something? Say Something.

If something feels off, you have options. You can use the **RAVE Guardian app** to quickly connect with University Police, report suspicious activity, or even stay connected while walking alone on campus.

Prefer to share information confidentially? **E-TIPS** lets you text in tips to University Police discreetly, giving you an easy way to speak up and help keep the community safe.

### Sexual Assault Support &amp; Response

If you experience sexual assault, we have resources to help you immediately and support you long-term. Our **Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)** is made up of trained professionals in law enforcement, health services, and advocacy who take a victim-centered, trauma-focused approach.

You can also speak confidentially with **Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)**, the Women’s Center, or our Clergy Advisor. When you’re ready, you can submit a **Title IX report** directly to the University to ensure action is taken.

### Report Concerns to the CARE Team

If you notice a student struggling or acting in ways that concern you, you can reach out to the CARE Team by submitting a report through their online form or contacting a team member directly. They review each report and connect students with the right support to keep everyone safe and supported.
