What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at McNeese State University?

McNeese reports around-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephones or alarms, a late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. Students should learn how to reach campus police or public safety and how the university sends emergency notices before an incident occurs.

Campus safety also involves knowing how to report a crime, seek urgent assistance, or access support after sexual misconduct. McNeese's current emergency procedures, reporting contacts, Title IX resources, and annual security report are the appropriate places to check those details. A list of security measures - or a single year of reported crime statistics - cannot establish that an individual will be safe in every setting.
