Annual reports reflect all incidents reported in any of these categories.

- Rape Awareness, Education, and Prevention: In cooperation with the Dean of Student Services, the department provides rape awareness education and prevention presentations to the campus community.
Crime Prevention
Almost every violation committed on campus is preventable. As part of Nashville State’s educational mission, the Police and Security Department attempts to teach members of the campus community how to reduce their chances of suffering a violation of their property or themselves.
The Department’s crime prevention program is based upon the dual concepts of eliminating or minimizing criminal opportunities, whenever possible, and encouraging students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others.
Crime Reports
Numerous efforts are made to advise the campus community on a timely basis about campus crime and crime-related problems. These efforts include the following:
- Annual Report: A comprehensive annual report of crime-related information is compiled, published, and widely distributed. This annual report is available to any member of the campus community.
- Daily Crime Log
- Special Alert: If circumstances warrant, specially printed crime alerts are prepared and distributed to the appropriate persons.
