May 3, 2019 – Massasoit Community College was recently named one of the Safest Colleges in the U.S., according to the National Council for Home Safety and Security. Massasoit came in
95th on the list, coming out in front of hundreds of other U.S. colleges and ranked
within the top 10 colleges in Massachusetts.
The National Council for Home Safety and Security used data from law enforcement and
FBI crime reports and compared 490 colleges across the country with student populations
of 1,000 or more. Using information about crime rate (both violent and non-violent
crimes) and police adequacy, the National Council for Home Safety and Security compiled
the list.
Massasoit’s ranking is due to the excellent police service that the Massasoit Community
College Police Department provides the campus at all times. Through efficient law
enforcement efforts and a tight-knit partnership between the police and the community,
the Massasoit Police Department maintains a safe learning environment year-round.
