Hunter College is a very safe college community.  Fortunately, incidents of violent crime are virtually non-existent.  However, things do occur and no matter how infrequent or how minor a crime may be, when you are the victim, it is serious, frustrating, and at best inconvenient. 

 The members of the Public Safety Department work very hard everyday to try to protect you and your property.  While on patrol, officers frequently remind students and staff to watch their valuables.
