Campus Safety magazine is once again hosting three Campus Safety Conferences (CSC) this year, the first of which is taking place at the Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas in Irving, Texas June 12-13. CSC Texas is partnering with the University of North Texas Dallas (UNTD) to deliver the latest information on everything from Clery compliance, after-hours emergencies, campus security technology, student safety, threat assessments, emergency preparedness, guns on campus and more.
Leading off the event will be a keynote from Dallas Community Colleges Chancellor Dr. Joe May and Dallas Independent School District (ISD) Assistant Chief Jason Rodriguez on how the July 7, 2016 ambush of Dallas police officers affected El Centro College, Dallas ISD, the Dallas Police Department and the community as a whole. They will share plans and procedures to consider when addressing violence and safety on our nation’s campuses.
Immediately following the keynote will be an expert panel discussion involving local college administrators, counselors and public safety officials that will be moderated by UNTD Department of Criminal Justice Dr. Eric Coleman on what happened during and immediately after the ambush, as well as the community’s long-term response. The first day of event will also feature outstanding presentations from other leading K-12 and higher ed security, public safety and emergency management experts.
The second day of the conference will offer in-depth workshops on Clery Annual Security Reports and communication strategies during a crisis. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in table top exercises that will provide real-life, role-playing emergency response experience.
In addition to the educational presentations, attendees will be provided with networking opportunities and a sponsor showcase featuring the latest products and services that schools and universities can adopt to address their most vexing public safety issues.
