Hello and welcome!

The Campus Safety and Violence Prevention Knowledge Community (KC) is a forum for all higher education administrators responsible for the safety, security, and emotional needs of the campus community and institution. By encouraging member interaction through the sharing of ideas, trends, best practices, resources, and research, the Campus Safety and Violence Prevention KC fosters collaboration, awareness, and support for campus safety. Campus Safety has partnered with NASPA and this KC to create a hub of content that supports these interactions. We hope these resources support safety on your campus and beyond.
