Everyone must assume responsibility for their own personal safety.  The University of Montana and the city of Missoula have resources available for safety on campus.

Grizzly Personal Safety (GPS) is a free escorting service for safety.  

University Emergency Telephones

Emergency telephones are located at the Mountain Campus, the Missoula College, the Lewis and Clark Village, the University Villages, and the South Dornblaser Park-N-Ride.  The call will immediately connect with the office of Public Safety. 

SMART911-Missoula Emergency System

Smart 911 allows people to enter their personal information through a secure web site in order to improve police and emergency response when they call 9-1-1.  For those who may have trouble communicating with a 9-1-1 dispatcher on the phone, the preloaded personal data allows the 9-1-1 center to communicate via text and effectively dispatch help.
