Minneapolis College encourages all students and College community members to be fully aware of the safety issues on and around the campus and to take action to prevent and to report illegal and inappropriate activities. Personal awareness and applying personal safety practices are the foundation of a safe community.

Each year Minneapolis College’s Public Safety Department creates and publishes an annual Campus Compliance and Security Report offering 3 years of campus crime statistics. The Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act requires that this report include information about particular types of crimes that occur in and around Minneapolis College campus properties.

This report further includes policy statements, program descriptions and procedures to follow in response to criminal activities.

A copy of these reports can be obtained by calling the Public Safety Department at 612-659-6910.

Level 3 Predatory Offender Information

The Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act is a law that provides for the tracking of convicted, registered Level 3 Predatory Offenders enrolled as students at institutions of higher education, or working or volunteering on campus. The law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a State concerning registered Level 3 Predatory Offenders may be obtained. It also requires Predatory Offenders already required to register in a State to provide notice, to the appropriate state agency, as required under State law, of each institution of higher education in that State at which the person is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student.

Information regarding Level 3 Predatory Offenders may be obtained through the Minneapolis Police department. The Minneapolis Police department may be contacted at 612-673-2817.

In addition, information regarding registered Level 3 Predatory Offenders may be obtained through the Minnesota Department of Corrections at 651-642-0200. 

An offender locator, for offenders that have the highest risk for re-offence, can be accessed from the Minnesota Department of Corrections website found here.

No offenders are currently enrolled at Minneapolis College.

The Public Safety Department and the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities maintains a "silent witness" feature/form. This form allows students or employees (without providing their names or other identifying information) the opportunity to report crimes or concerning behaviors/threats. The information provided regarding crimes and concerning behaviors/threats is received by the Minneapolis Community and Technical College Public Safety Department and the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities.

Anonymous reporting is not intended for Complaints or Student Code of Conduct violations (cheating, smoking violations, etc.); if these types of behaviors are occurring, please directly contact the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities in T. 2300, or contact OSRR at Minneapolis College.

Upon receipt, all information is thoroughly investigated to the best of the department’s ability, based on the information that is received. Information sent through this site, while checked on a regular basis, is not monitored 24 hours a day.

Therefore, the Silent Witness form SHOULD NOT be used for emergencies that require immediate response or those that are life-threatening in nature. IN AN EMERGENCY, FIRST CALL 911 AND THEN ALERT THE PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT at 612.659.6900.

The Silent Witness reporting system is intended to foster and maintain a safe and caring community. Therefore, if it is discovered this system is being used to harass or to retaliate against members of the Minneapolis Community and Technical College community, behavioral conduct consequences will be pursued.

Use the link below to access the form. The form will appear once you answer the first question:

Silent Witness Form

If you have any information/evidence that you would like to provide in electronic format as an email attachment, please contact the Silent Witness Program at Minneapolis College.
