Media Releases and Crime Notifications

Crime Notifications

The Clery Act requires that institutions provide crime notifications/timely warnings about Clery Act crimes that may pose a serious or ongoing threat to students and employees.  

  • Institutions must provide these crime notifications in a manner likely to reach all members of the campus community.
  • The purpose of a crime notification is to notify the campus community of the incident and to provide information that may enable community members to better protect themselves from similar incidents.

Media Releases

The MU Police Department is committed to keeping the community and members of the news media informed about public safety at MU.

For information, contact the Media Relations and Public Affairs at 573-882-6211 or email newsandinfo@missouri.edu.

During a campus emergency, do not call MUPD.  Instead, check for updates on the MU Alert and Media Relations and Public Affairs websites. These are the only official resources of information for the public and news media during an emergency.  Once an all clear is issued, a university spokesperson can assist with questions.
