All the full-time telecommunications officers are certified by the Association of Professional Telecommunication Offices. The Office of Security and Safety is aided by an active student auxiliary program. The office also works in concert with the Knox County Sheriff's Office, Gambier village officials, and the fire department of College and Monroe townships. Kenyon's Environment Kenyon College is located in the rural village of Gambier, Ohio, a community in which trust and honesty are valued. While residents of the campus community are removed from urban areas, they are not immune from the problems that exist in cities.
Crime is a national problem that affects rural and urban areas alike.
In accordance with federal legislation, Kenyon provides students, employees, and applicants for admission information regarding crime statistics in the community as well as measures that can be taken to protect themselves and their possessions against crime. A safe and secure campus cannot be maintained by Kenyon's Office of Security and Safety alone. Emergencies Emergencies on campus can be reported by dialing 5555 or 0 from any College telephone. There are seventeen blue-light emergency call boxes throughout the campus for reporting matters that may range from suspicious activity and medical emergencies to fires and requests for escorts. A security and safety officer will be dispatched automatically to the telephone where the call was placed.
