Campus security services
Transcript
In North America, our higher education footprint is over 50 colleges and universities. We also do some community colleges. We have over 20 years experience in this vertical.
Basic security officer training in higher education: Critical components are: one, that our officers go through the exact same orientation that freshmen do when they come on the campus because we want them to know where everything is - a little bit of history about the university or the college.
And then we go into the Clery Act, what their requirements are, what they need to know about it. Then we go to Title IX. Title IX is critically important. We're never a Title IX reporter or coordinator, but we report to the coordinator.
Then we go into violence against women, critical component, and then cultural diversity. We approach campus security through the mindset of circles of protection.
And what that means is we use static post officers, mobile patrol officers, off-duty police officers, technology and intelligence to provide security to a community. And that community are the staff, faculty and students at every university or higher education institution that we provide services for.
You bring all those circles in and you have them overlap each other, it provides a much better threat deterrent to any activity that might be coming on campus.
If we're the sole provider of public safety on that campus, we handle things differently than if we go on and work with a proprietary public safety department.
It's very important that we are their partner, that we work as one to supply that campus community the public safety that they need.
We're all working for the same thing. So if we're doing training, we include the proprietary department. If they're doing training, we ask that they include us as well. What we want is one unit providing those circles of protection that takes care of the community that we're protecting.
It's really important that we we know what's going on in the communities around us and what the threats are to not only students, but the faculty and staff of the universities and colleges as well. So we involve our students, new students coming in, we offer community walk programs or other initiatives to make sure they understand what the safety tips are in that urban area.
These help us provide a better level of security for our campus and university environment.
