“The collaboration and service from this department have greatly improved and there is an overall sense of community policing taking place.\u00a0 Recently the new and significant initiative of the Public Safety Training Institute has absolutely taken off and is the regional training center for public safety professionals.\u00a0 This is getting more people on our campus every day, increasing our visibility and revenue.\u00a0 The employees have collaborated with many across campus to create new policies and work to find ways to better serve,” were some of the reason and comments included in the nomination. “It\u2019s evident that student success is very important to this group.\u00a0 They work with the students when they find themselves in difficult situations by not always charging them but providing alternatives when appropriate.\u00a0 Time and time again, the officers approach a variety of situations and provide professional assistance.\u00a0 The bottom line is \u2026.we call and they come.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
