Columbia College Missouri Crime and Safety in 2019

Is Columbia College Missouri safe? Find crime statistics for the college campus and the surrounding area.

Can High Reported Crime Be A Good Sign?

Nearly 1/3 of the colleges we analyzed either did not report crime or reported no incidents of crime. Zero incidents of reported crime may be nice to see, but it does not necessarily mean the school is safer, as it could indicate lax reporting. Higher incidents of reported crime could mean the school is stricter about law enforcement and reporting. Remember, just because incidents are not reported does not mean they do not happen.
