What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Missouri State University-Springfield?

Missouri State has campus safety and emergency-response resources for its Springfield community, including university police and an emergency notification system. Students should learn how to receive alerts, report an incident, and seek help in the locations where they study or live.

The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required campus-crime disclosures and information about reporting procedures. Such figures cover specified locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of an individual's personal safety. Students can also consult the university's published procedures for sexual misconduct reporting, supportive measures, and emergency response. Anyone comparing campuses should read those policies directly rather than infer that a particular security device, patrol schedule, or escort service is available everywhere.
