b. Special Building Safeguards In 2014, UPD established a Student Housing Liaison Officer Program which operates from a store front location in the campus housing area. In addition to being centrally located in the housing area, the Liaison Officer will be responsible for creating and participating in programs that promote safety and security within the community such as sexual assault awareness, drug and alcohol awareness and personal safety advice. c. Safety Actions Taken Preceding 18 months In September 2015, UPD conducted an in house academy for its Student Service Officers (SSO). As a part of that academy, the SSO s received training in identifying hazards on campus, traffic control, use of flares and crowd control. In September 2015, the UPD deployed a new safety application with Rave Mobile Safety. This mobile application called the Pioneer Guardian will allow students to create a virtual safety network to monitor them when needed. In addition to creating these safety timers the application will provide enhanced communication with UPD using one button dialing and text messaging capabilities. To further UPD s commitment to community policing the department established a network of campus community liaisons with the following campus communities; Athletics, Library, Retail, Associated Student Incorporated, Administration and Student Health. These liaisons will provide for more timely and effective communication between UPD and the community we serve. d. Safety Actions Planned over next 24 months UPD is in the process of installing safety cameras at the Concord Campus. Most of the cameras will be installed inside the Administration Building; however, two cameras will be installed outside in the open quad and parking lot areas. The outside cameras will have the ability to interact with someone using a speaker and microphone system. In an effort to further professionalize our Police Department, we will increase our staff knowledge by providing expert-level training in areas of Sexual Assault, Crisis Negotiations, Threat Assessment and Cultural Awareness. These are areas identified as being essential to Campus Policing and relationship building. 3
