The MCC Police/Public Safety Department prepares the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report to comply with the Jeanne Clery Act. This report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by MCC, and on public property within or immediately adjacent to and accessible from MCC campus locations. The report also includes policies concerning campus security, such as reporting sexual assault and other matters.
