Spartan Security

Spartan Security is the primary, university provider of event security at Michigan State University. All on‑campus events requiring security must be staffed through Spartan Security—not an outside agency. This ensures safety, consistency, and compliance with MSU policies.

When to Request Spartan Security

Departments are encouraged to contact Spartan Security whenever an event involves:
- Large attendance or open public access
- High‑profile speakers or guests
- Late‑night programming
- Any situation where crowd management or safety oversight is needed

If there is uncertainty about whether security is required, Spartan Security can help assess the event.

How to Begin the Request Process

To initiate security services for your event, please complete the form below. Submitting the form early helps ensure proper staffing, planning, and coordination with MSU Police and Public Safety.
