Campus Security Act Policies and Procedures

1. All on-campus crimes must be reported to Campus Security, which is manned 24 hours a day. The Security Office is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., and can be reached by calling extension 2222. When the office is closed, the Security Officer on duty can be contacted directly by calling 626-2222.
   
2. All academic buildings are locked each evening and during the weekends. The residence halls, Blaine and McCormick, are locked at 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and at 12:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Apartments A-H are locked at 12:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 1:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
   
3. The Security Department personnel are not commissioned law enforcement officers. However, each officer has completed the Police Academy and many have previous law enforcement experience. There is an excellent working relationship between the Department and the city and county law enforcement agencies. All employees and students are directed to report all occurrences of any criminal activity to the Campus Security. Campus Security is directed to report all felonies to the Joplin Police Department.
   
4. Applicable Security policies and procedures are published in the student handbook which is distributed to all freshmen students. Each semester, during freshmen orientation, seminars are given covering date rape, safety tips, and security procedures.
   
5. Security is involved in crime prevention programs which are presented each semester by the Campus Activities Board, Student Services Office and Residence Hall Association. Pamphlets regarding crime prevention are distributed to all resident students and are made available to all students in the Student Center.
   
6. MSSU does not have off-campus student organizations recognized by the institution.
