Car Seat Safety Check Request
The Michigan State University Police Department offers a 30-minute session where an officer, who is a certified child safety seat technician, installs and teaches you about the proper use of your car seat. We request that you bring your child (if born), your car seat (with manual) and your vehicle (with owner’s manual) to the MSU Police Department for your appointment.

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle or Uncrewed Submersible Vehicle Request
MSU has an ordinance that addresses operating uncrewed aerial and uncrewed submersible vehicles. Violations of this ordinance could result in penalties up to 90 days in jail and/or $100 in fines. In addition, MSU has drafted an Interim Policy (dated May 20, 2014) that outlines the process required to have this ordinance waived for UAV/USV operation on campus. That policy and ordinance is enforced by the MSU Police Department, in conjunction with the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies. Procedures are in place and the requirements are covered in the “UAV/USV Interim Policy.” Please use the form below to make an online request.
