CAMPUS SAFETY & CRIME REPORT

The University of Missouri-Columbia is committed to providing the members of the campus community and visitors with the safest and most secure environment possible.  However, even the most extensive initiatives cannot succeed without the awareness and cooperation of the community members who work, study and live on campus.

In 1998, the federal government passed the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, formerly the Student Right to Know Act of 1990. This law requires colleges and universities receiving federal funding to disclose the reported instances of criminal activity on their campuses.

The law specifically requires the reporting of violent crime, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and arson, as well as a summary of arrests and disciplinary referrals for liquor law violations, drug abuse violations, and weapons possessions.

In compliance with this act, the University of Missouri-Columbia Police Department has produced this report, "Campus Safety & Crime Report", which contains the aforementioned information. In addition to campus crime statistics, this report is also a resource guide for campus safety services and crime prevention strategies. Inquiries about this report may be directed to the Crime Prevention Unit at (573) 882-7201 or by electronic mail:
