Accreditation Fee for CALEA Accredited Agencies Approved Continued from page 20 Accreditation Commission will then review the material and, if satisfied, award IACLEA accreditation for the period of the department’s CALEA accreditation. The agency will not be obligated to pay either the application fee of $350 or an onsite assessment fee. However, as IACLEA adds standards to the program, an on-site evaluation may be required. At that time, the cost of the assessment would be borne by the agency. Currently 35 college or university public safety departments are accredited by CALEA. Another 26 departments have signed contracts with CALEA and are engaged in the self-assessment process. A number of these agencies have expressed interest in obtaining IACLEA accreditation. For more information about IACLEA accreditation, please contact IACLEA Accreditation Coordinator Jack Leonard at (860) 586-7517, ext. 558, or at jleonard@iaclea.org.

National Campus Safety Awareness Month in Full Swing IACLEA Member Institution Montclair State University Receives 2006 Clery Award By Steven Healy, IACLEA President IACLEA has joined with Security on Campus, Inc. (SOC) to mark the second National Campus Safety Awareness Month (NCSAM) in September. SOC established NCSAM to heighten awareness of one of the most potentially dangerous times for young adults in higher education — September. Throughout September, SOC partnered with colleges and universities across the U.S. to help keep students safe by educating them about sexual assault, binge drinking, hazing, fire safety and other potential threats. In June, at the IACLEA Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, SOC Senior Vice President S. Daniel Carter announced plans for the National Campus Safety Awareness Month, including the campus safety toolkits that are now available (http://www.campussafetymonth.org/). SOC, with support from Rave Wireless, has also provided fifty schools with special programming kits that include educational DVDs, study guides, educational brochures and other materials. At the University of Pennsylvania, officials joined with SOC representatives on August 30 to kick off the month of activities. SOC co-founder Connie Clery spoke about the challenges facing college students. Penn President Amy Gutmann and Vice President of Public Safety Maureen Rush, a long-time IACLEA member, talked about the new initiatives at Penn to educate students about safety. The University of Tennessee Police Department kicked off the 2006 academic year with several National Campus Safety Awareness Month activities. The UT Police Department is one of 50 colleges and universities selected nationally to receive programming kits and material for the NCSAM. The UT police disseminated specific educational and programming information regarding sexual assault awareness, Rape Aggression Defense ® , alcohol awareness, substance abuse, theft prevention, and other critical topics. IACLEA member August Washington, the Chief of Police at the University of Tennessee, says that September is the perfect time during the academic year to get the community focused on safety and security on campus. Washington further stated that he was pleased that IACLEA was also encouraging its members to actively support National Campus Safety Awareness Month activities. “The ability to establish and maintain a close relationship between SOC and IACLEA affords campuses throughout the country resources and training which are critical to the overall safety of our campus communities.” The NCSAM exemplifies this commitment. In related news, Montclair State University was awarded the 2006 Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Award during a ceremony at the university on September 5, 2006. During the ceremony, SOC co-founder Connie Clery stated, “Montclair State is the first educational institution in the country to pilot an exciting new mobile phone technology that turns students’ cell phones into a personal alarm device connecting them to a caring, sworn police force.” Clery also cited the university for “funding a full-time coordinator of the Center of Non-Violence and Prevention Programs, which is modeled after New Jersey State standards and provides services to victims of sexual assaults.” The Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), which was the first university-based program of its kind in New Jersey and one of a handful on campuses in the nation, is a team composed of trained sexual assault nurse examiners, university police officers and trained rape care advocates organized to assist the victims of sexual assault. During the ceremony, IACLEA Mid-Atlantic Regional Director Vickie Weaver, Director of Public Safety at Rider University in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, congratulated Montclair State University and, specifically, the University Police Department. “Chief Cell and his department truly embody campus law enforcement’s ongoing commitment to student safety and awareness. Chief Cell’s commitment to working closely with his campus partners to create a safe environment for sexual assault survivors represents the very best of collaboration and teamwork.” Weaver also highlighted the new era of collaboration between IACLEA and SOC. Today, IACLEA and Security on Campus are collaborating on a number of initiatives. We are joining with SOC to mark the second National Campus Public Safety Awareness Month. And early next year, several IACLEA members will join SOC to present the first-ever comprehensive, multi-disciplinary Clery Act training seminars. IACLEA is committed to working together with SOC for many years in the future to further our goals of protecting the next generation of leaders, Weaver said.
