SCC ranked among safest colleges in America

Published: 04/26/2019

St. Charles Community College was named among Alarms.org's list of safest colleges in America.

The Safest Colleges in America study ranked SCC 52 of the nearly 500 colleges with safety scores based on a number of factors, including FBI crime data, reports from local law enforcement and police adequacy.

“For parents sending their children off to college, safety is usually a top concern," according to the Alarms.org website. "It is often the first time that their kids are on their own, living independently outside of the home. Choosing a school with a solid reputation for security and low potential for dangerous threats allows moms and dads to breathe easier once their kids ship off to earn a higher education.”

“We know that one of the main priorities for any college is keeping students and faculty safe and feel that this is a good opportunity to make your campus crime statistics and safety resources available to prospective and current students,” said Robyn Avery, media relations at Alarms.org.
