Safety & Security Resources
Yale is located in the heart of a vibrant urban community, with all the arts, culture, and rich diversity of experience that city life brings. With city living, it is important to take steps to stay safe, and Yale invests in significant public safety resources.
Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has established the
YSM Safety & Security Committee
, which meets every other month and hosts quarterly YSM Community Safety town hall meetings, to hear from and address questions and concerns raised by faculty, staff, and students. The committee consists of representatives from the university, medical school, and health system, including Yale Public Safety (consisting of Yale Police, Yale Security, Systems and Services, and the Office of Emergency Management departments), Yale Parking & Transit, and Yale New Haven Health System.
This page also provides information and resources, including a list of committee members, meeting minutes, safety updates, and access to the YSM Community Safety town hall videos.
