Jeanne Clery Act

Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report

The Clery Act requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses. By October 1 of each year, institutions must publish and distribute their Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report to current and prospective students and employees.

Our latest Annual Campus Security Reports can be viewed online below. If you would like a paper copy, one can be obtained by contacting the campus police at (573) 341-4300, or by visiting 205 W. 12th Street.

  • Campus Law Enforcement and Public Safety (including student workers)
  • Resident Assistants, Resident Directors, and Community Directors
  • Leaders in Student Affairs and Student Housing
  • Athletic Director and Coaches (including assistants)
  • Faculty or Staff Advisors to Student Organizations
  • Access Monitors (computer labs, residence halls)
  • Contract Security Officers and Event Security Officers
  • Staff in the Havener Center
  • Staff in Student Activities Offices (OAR, student design, intramural)
  • Staff in Greek Life
  • Administrators at branch/satellite locations (Fort Leonard Wood)
