Campus Safety
Minot State University understands the concern of students and parents regarding the safety on the campus of the university. The university accepts its responsibility to employ security measures to ensure that students at Minot State are as free as possible from any threats to their safety or well-being. Minot State University is a community of about 3,500 residents, located within the city of Minot, a community with a population of about 40,000. As part of that larger community, the university shares many of the same interests and problems, including the concern about crime. Although the University does not experience a significant number of crimes, it would not be honest to say that crime does not happen on campus. It does. To prevent such incidents, a competent residence hall staff, professionally trained security officers and the students themselves are responsible for a number of measures to ensure that the students and their possessions are protected as much as possible. Crime Statistics and Crime Rates Minot State University makes available information relating to crime statistics and security measures to prospective students, enrolled students and employees. The university’s Plant Services office is responsible for collecting the information from the Minot Police Department and MSU Student Life Office, which maintains incident reports for the university campus. The statistics reported here reflect incidents on file for the university for the period of January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007.
