Southeast Missouri State University has announced new safety protocols just as the 2024-2025 academic year gets underway. Additional security cameras are being installed at locations throughout campus. As equipment is received, locations will be prioritized and cameras installed. Portable weapons detection systems (metal detectors) will be utilized at the Show Me Center, Houck Field, the River Campus and other events as needed that have a large attendance. The Clear Bag Policy in place for visitors to SEMO Athletic events will expand for all events. And SEMO will also establish limited designated entrances to buildings on campus, so there’ll be fewer unlocked entrances.
