University campus events; require enhanced security measures and collaboration among law enforcement for large events.

SB 2209 requires Mississippi public universities and the Department of Public Safety to coordinate enhanced security measures for large campus events, directly affecting university campuses, law enforcement agencies, and students. Key provisions mandate unified command during high-risk events, stricter access controls, threat assessment protocols, and mandatory posting of a public safety tip submission platform on all university websites. The bill also creates a statewide safety training officer role to provide campus law enforcement with specialized training on mental health response, conflict de-escalation, and active threat scenarios. This bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not advance further.
