Pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and the Higher Education Opportunity Act and other federal laws, Mississippi State University publishes an Annual Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report.

It includes (1) crime statistics for the previous three years for those crimes identified by the Clery Act that occurred on campus; in or on off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by MSU; and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus; (2) information regarding MSU's policies related to campus security, including drug and alcohol use, crime prevention, reporting crimes, sexual assault, emergency procedures, fire safety and prevention and other matters; and (3) statistics for the previous three years for fires that have occurred in on-campus housing facilities. The current Annual Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report is available at http://www.msstate.edu/files/2017CampusSecurityReport.pdf. If you have questions, or wish to obtain a paper copy of the Report, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students at 662-325-3611 or visit Room 608, Allen Hall on the Starkville campus.

In addition to the crime statistics provided in the Report identified above, a daily fire and crime log is available for inspection at the Mississippi State University Police Department on both the Starkville campus (Butler Williams Building next to Davis Wade Stadium) and the Meridian campus (main floor of the campus).

Also pursuant to the Clery Act, MSU has made available a corrected 2016 Annual Security Report. That report which contains the same types of information listed above, is available at http://www.msstate.edu/files/2016%20CampusSecurityReport.pdf. The corrected report is made available because certain crime statistics were updated after the initial report was published.
