The University of Massachusetts Amherst is committed to maintaining a safe and secure campus, with professional police officers from the university’s Department of Public Safety providing 24-hour security.

Residence halls are secured and only accessible with proper identification. During the academic year, more than 200 students are employed as Security Monitors to regulate access, check residents’ identification, and register guests. During vacation periods, security is also provided in the occupied nine-month and year-round halls.

Campus Security strives to ensure a safe environment for study, teaching, research, and recreation through problem-solving partnerships with faculty, staff, and students, as well as with state and local governmental bodies, and community neighbors.
