At the NJ CUPSA 10th Annual Conference held in Atlantic City March 17-19, Steven Healy of Margolis Healy provided an overview of the events and developments that have affected university public safety over the past decade.
During his keynote, he recommended that institutions of higher education eliminate stovepipes, creating a comprehensive approach to campus safety and security. He also suggested campuses engage in meaningful hazard and vulnerability analysis, enforce policies and leverage technology to enhance preparedness.
Healy believes that the top safety and security executive on campus should report directly to the institution president and be a member of his or her executive council. In this video, he describes why this is important.
