McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
The McNeese State University Police Department is dedicated to maintaining a safe and secure environment for learning and working. Because MSU-PD, like many urban campuses, does experience some crime, the McNeese Police Department wants students, faculty, staff, and the community to be aware of crime on campus.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (the “Clery Act”), found at 20 U.S.C. 1092(f), requires colleges and universities receiving federal funding to prepare, publish, and distribute campus security policies and crime statistics. Each year the university files a report with the United States Department of Education stating the incidences of crime on campus.
The crime statistics reported in compliance with the Clery Act are obtained from reports made to the McNeese State University Police Department, local law enforcement agencies, and Campus Security Authorities.
Requirements of the Clery Act include policy disclosures, records collection and retention (e.g. daily crime (and fire) log), and information dissemination (e.g. timely warnings, annual security report). A copy of the crime and fire log is available at the Police Department.
For additional information on the Clery Act please visit: http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/campus.html
These logs reflect the number of incidents for the crimes of homicide, manslaughter, forcible and non-forcible sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and arson that occur on or near campus for the previous three calendar years. Also included in the tables are arrests/disciplinary referrals for drug law violations, liquor violations, and weapon violations and bias-related crimes. The statistics include crimes reported directly to the McNeese Police Department, to local law enforcement agencies, and to campus security authorities.
A copy is available for review in the University Police Office.
