Programs to Inform the Minnesota State Mankato Community Regarding Prevention of Crimes

1. Security will present seminars two times a year. At these seminars, different aspects of safety, including the prevention of crimes, will be discussed. Security will invite various speakers, including members of city and county law enforcement, to discuss the prevention of crime. As crime can occur both to you (your person) and your property, both areas of prevention will be discussed.
2. Security also has available, at no cost, brochures, flyers, pamphlets, videos and posters regarding the prevention of crime.
