Annual Report 2005-2006Annual AwardsOn Saturday, June 24, at the opening ceremonyof the 48th Annual Conference,Melvin Murdock, chair of the Awards andRecognition Committee, presentedIACLEA’s 2006 Awards for AdministrativeExcellence, Merit, and Valor.2006 Award forAdministrative ExcellenceOfficer Sharon EvansCrime Prevention OfficerThe University of ScrantonSharon Evans’ performance in the Universityof Scranton’s Department of PublicSafety has resulted in more campuswidecooperative public safety programs,better trained officers, measurable decreasesin crime statistics and administrativeerrors, and innovative programs todevelop student officers.In 2004, Evans was charged with developinga crime prevention program,overseeing a student officer program andinitiating a student outreach program toSharon Evans of the University of Scranton andMelvin Murdock, chair of the IACLEA AwardsCommittee.build better relations between officers andthe student body. Evans jump-started thecrime prevention program by instituting aschedule of monthly themes. Her researchidentified sources of information and supportmaterials to promote each theme.She quickly recognized that campusorganizations are more successful if theydo not work in a vacuum. She initiatedcollaborative efforts with other campusorganizations, bringing public safety intotheir events and functions as a partner,and aligning the crime prevention programto support the educational and preventionactivities of each group.Under Ms. Evans’ leadership andadministrative skills, the rolesand responsibilities of thedepartment’s student corps ofofficers were refined and theirtraining program updated. Priorto her initiatives, the student officerswere helpful but requiredclose supervision and direction.With her mentoring, the groupnow functions as an auxiliary organizationwithin public safety.They work under their own leadership,handling some tasks andresponsibilities previously performedby a full-time officer.She added a challenging halfdayprogram to the Student Officer Academythat requires students to pull togetheras a team, depend on each other, andlearn each other’s strengths and weaknesses.This idea rapidly bonded new andreturning officers. Evans’s caring modeland involvement has doubled studentofficer membership and dropped turnoverby 25 percent.The university crime statistics demonstratea significant drop in violence relatedincidents (15%), criminal mischief(40%) and harassment (20%) in the residencehalls. Incidents off campus haveshown a similar decline.Evans’ attention to detail helped toreduce by 30% administration problemsin accounting for student hours and pay.She has enlisted student officers to helpreview and provide ideas for updatingprocedures. She is in the process of rewritingthe Student Officer Standing OperatingProcedures manual.Richard A. Pomager, Jr., director ofpublic safety at the University of Scranton,nominated Evans for the award.Douglas P.

An Aggressive Agenda to Move IACLEA ForwardContinued from page 3teaming with our partners, like FranklinCovey, to ensure we are providing thebest possible executive education to ourmembers.And this is a good segue to our nextinitiative, and that is strengthening ourexisting partnerships and forming newrelationships with key partners.PartnershipsYou need only look around the room torealize the impact that partnership andrelationships building has had on us overthe past several years. You see our goodfriend Scott Whitney, and Jeff Allison, whoput us on his back and carried and deliveredour cause to the Department ofHomeland Security and the FBI. The programsand services that we’ve been ableto deliver since September 11, 2001 arethe direct results of strong relationships withpeople who can make a difference.Today, together with several partners,we are on the verge of forming a NationalCenter for Campus Public Safety.The vision and resources for this wouldPU for MITIpu last issue page 34not have been possible without partnershipswith Carl Peed, the director of theCOPS office, and people on his staff likeCindy Pappas, who will be working withour National Center Fellow Asa Boyntonto develop a business plan and prospectusfor the National Center.You see people like Tom Teeter fromWeldon, Williams & Lick, who has beensponsoring this breakfast for the past severalyears. And the other vendors whohave stepped up to the plate and becomeCorporate Partners. Companies likeWWL, iXP, ADT/Tyco, and the NTI Groupmake it possible for us to deliver worldclass service to you — our members.These companies represent the very bestof partnership building and support andthey remind us what’s possible if youdevelop a strong business case.Yesterday, I heard Past President ArnoldTrujillo mention that it brought tears tohis eyes to see the number of internationalflags during our opening ceremonies.It is truly inspiring. We have significantopportunities to strengthen our collaborationwith our international brothersand sisters. Over the past two years,IACLEA members have traveled the worldto the UK, Russia, and South Africa. Theyhave carried the IACLEA banner and it’sclear that our international partners wantto work closely with us. While we havemany differences, we are bonded by onekey similarity — our commitment tokeeping our campuses safe.There are others out there who wantto help us achieve our very importantgoal of preparing campus public safetyleaders to protect the future. We knowthey’re out there and we need to let themknow that we’re here and that we needtheir help. To support this initiative, thisyear we will hold a summit in Washington,DC to bring together the many federalagencies, professional associations,and lawmakers to introduce them toIACLEA and actively seek their support.I fully expect that we will leave thesummit having identified several opportunitiesto elevate our presence on thenational and international scene and findother supporters like Jeff Allison.PresenceAs we drive toward our 50th anniversarycelebration, it is time for us to reflect onour image and the messages in the mediaabout safety and security on campusesaround the world.This past year, the US media coveredseveral stories that cast a less than favorablelight on the abilities, commitment,and professionalism of campus publicsafety. Unfortunately, IACLEA was absentfrom those stories. We can’t allow this situationto continue. We must develop thecapacity to proactively engage with themedia and respond to those stories thatquestion safety on campus. If international,national, or local outlets are talking aboutcampus security, they need to talk toIACLEA to get the true story about whatwe’re doing to make campuses safer.To further this goal, I’ve asked MarlonLynch, Director-at-Large, to lead a taskforce to examine our capacity to effectivelywork with the media.We must also better understand howwe are viewed as an association, both insideand outside of IACLEA. Gary MargolisContinued on page 16JULY/AUGUST 2006 / 15

An Aggressive Agenda to Move IACLEA ForwardContinued from page 15and Noel March would call this “imagemanagement.” Once we glean this information,we must market IACLEA and createa brand recognition unlike any othergroup.To further this goal, I’ve asked DanHutt, our Canadian Regional Director tolead a task force that will include GaryMargolis, the Chief of Police at the Universityof Vermont. This task force willbe chartered to recommend ways to enhanceour marketing prowess so we areclearly identified as the voice of campuspublic safety.PlanningEarlier, I mentioned our strategic planningprocess. We are reaching the end of oursecond strategic plan. Our process hasbeen extremely successful, serving as ourcompass to constantly guide us in theright direction.This year, we will gather a group ofIACLEA members to develop our latestplan. This plan will guide us to andthrough our 50th anniversary. Beforewe’re able to finish the plan, we’ll needyour help to complete the member needsassessment. This assessment is absolutelyessential to our future.ParticipationAnd finally, I want to come back to ourmembers — you. Today, nearly 35% ofIACLEA members are professional members.Professional members lead and serveon committees. They are vital membersof our association, yet we have disenfranchisedthem and don’t allow them theright to vote or hold elected office. I thinkit’s time to rethink this governance policy,and we’ve formed a task force to examinebest practices in this area so we canensure that every campus public safetymember of IACLEA who wants to contributeis able to do so in very meaningfulways.Clearly, this agenda is ambitious, but itis both doable and necessary. These arethe important ingredients that we mustfocus on to move IACLEA to the next level— to move us from good to great.These “Ps,” our people, partnerships,new and existing, our presence on thenational and international stage, our planningfor the future of IACLEA so we leaveit well situated for the next generation ofleaders and participation of our membersin the governance of our association, alladd substance to our drive for excellence,our quest for greatness.I know we have dedicated memberswho understand the importance of thework before us. During this week, somany of you have expressed your desireto get on the bus, roll up your sleeves,and work for the betterment of this nobleprofession. I appreciate your commitmentand look forward to working with youover the next year.Thank you for your work, for beinghere and for dedicating your lives so thatothers may learn.Please enjoy the rest of your stay andtravel safety back to your campuses.Change Attitudes, Change Behavior, Save LivesIn today’s campus environment every institution recognizes theresponsibility for keeping its students safe. The common reaction is tostep up manpower and crack down on crime. However, it takes morethan increased security patrols and tighter restrictions to enact change.In order to keep students from endangering themselves andothers, you need a communications tool that grabs their attentionand respects their intelligence. You need to create a culture of safety.A Culture of Safety StartsWith GreaterAwareness GreaterAwareness is a safety communicationsGreater program that addresses your essential safetyAwarenessconcerns in a proactive way. By using effective,consistent communication, GreaterAwarenesswill potentially save students from harm whilesaving you time and energy.Call today for more information at1-800-CLEMENT, or visit us on the web atwww.greaterawareness.com/iacleaPlease refer to priority code #S-5118-001©MMVI Clement Communications Incorporated.

Berry introduced L. Sedlak to reporton a proposal she drafted in response toPresident-Elect Healy’s plan called 500by 50, which has as its goal the recruitmentof 500 new IACLEA member institutionsby IACLEA’s 50th anniversary in2008. Among the needs identified in thedraft plan: to recruit more professionalmembers, educate new institutional membersabout IACLEA and its programs andservices, engage the regional directors toassist in recruitment, offer discounts tonew members, and include member servicesatisfaction questions in the upcomingmember needs assessment.P. Berry reported that Dr. Greg Sottilehas been engaged to conduct a memberneeds assessment, as he did in 2002. Theassessment will include interviews withnational agency representatives familiarwith IACLEA, a representative sample ofIACLEA members, and a survey instrumentwith questions based on the 2002 survey.The goal is to complete the surveyinstrument by August and conduct thesurvey in the fall. P. Berry asked the Boardto reserve the dates of January 11-13,2007, for a Strategic Planning meeting thatwill be held in Jacksonville. Florida.

Recent events,including the suicide bomber who detonatedoutside of a football game at theUniversity of Oklahoma and a student inNorth Carolina who drove a vehicle intoa crowd of university students, highlightthe need for campus law enforcementand the FBI to work together.He outlined significant achievementsattained by the FBI and the campus publicsafety community during the past year:• IACLEA’s president is now a memberof the FBI Director’s Law EnforcementAdvisory Group (DLEAG).• Across the country, ten Joint TerrorismTask Forces (JTTFs) now have acampus law enforcement officer assignedto them and the FBI is workingto expand that number.Jeff Allison, senior law enforcement advisor toDHS (left), Daniel Carter of Security on Campus(center), Louis F.

Chinese and Irish Security Officers Visit FloridaBy Stephen L. NordlingerFor six days, from June 23 to June 28, adelegation of Chinese and of Irish campussecurity officers visited CentralFlorida for the International Associationof Campus Law Enforcement Administrators’2006 Annual Conference.My name is Stephen Nordlinger and Iam a community service officer with theUniversity of Central Florida Police Department.I’m working on a degree inforeign languages and cultures, so whenI heard there was a delegation of Chinesecampus security officers coming, Ieagerly volunteered to be their chaperone.I practiced my Potonghua Hanyu(Mandarin Chinese) day and night for severalweeks to prepare for their arrival. Iwas looking forward to working with nativespeakers who had authentic accentsstraight from Beijing. Working with Lieut.Gerald Emert and coworker Scott George,we prepared to make their arrival andvisit informative and enjoyable.The Chinese delegation consisted ofMr. Wang Xinke (head of security ofWuhan University), Mr. Luo Juntain (directorof security of the East China Universityof Petroleum), Mr. Song Jiliang(director of security at the People’s Hospitalat Peking University) and Ms. LuRonglei (Mandarin Chinese-to-English interpreterand English teacher).The three Chinese security officers attendedseveral days of ICLEA informationalsessions with the help of their interpreter.On other days, Scott Georgeand I took them on various sightseeingtrips around central Florida. We escortedthem to the Disney World Epcot Centertheme park, a tour of the University ofCentral Florida campus and University ofCentral Florida Police Department, and atrip to Cocoa Beach for a surfing lesson.We visited a variety of American Chineserestaurants and had fun comparing thevariety of Americanized Chinese food.The delegates brought preserved vegetableswith them to help them adjust toAmerican foods. I tasted these deep redvegetables that were sealed in vacuumpackedplastic bags. They were very salty,which kept them preserved.The George Washington University PoliceDepartment (UPD) announced recentlythat it has received accreditationfrom the Commission on Accreditationfor Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA),becoming one of a select few collegeand university police departments in thecountry formally recognized by the association.“Due to the selectivity of receivingCALEA accreditation, the University PoliceDepartment will be recognized asan elite force among university policedepartments nationwide,” said UniversityPolice Chief Dolores Stafford. “Weexhaustively revised our procedures —from training to response to investigationfollow-up. This process has en-We had a great cultural exchange withdays of questions going back and forthon every aspect of our jobs, languages,and societies. I learned volumes of informationabout Chinese culture and the organizationalnature of Chinese police andcollege security departments. As part ofmy job duties, I work with the large populationof international students and staffof our university, so spending this muchtime with members of another cultureincreases my knowledge of and sensitivityto their customs.Continued on page 38GW University Police DepartmentReceives CALEA Accreditationhanced an already responsive department.”George Washington’s UPD underwenta rigorous process to receive accreditation.The five-phase process beganwith an application to CALEA fouryears ago and culminated with full accreditedstatus. During the approvalprocess, UPD submitted proof of compliancewith each of the 450 standardsset by CALEA, went through several onsiteassessments and inspections, andattended a public hearing at whichCALEA heard testimony from agencypersonnel, assessors, staff, and membersof the community.Continued on page 38JULY/AUGUST 2006 / 37

Chinese and Irish Security OfficersVisit FloridaContinued from page 37The Irish delegation included Mr.Raymond Wheatley from Dublin CityUniversity and his family. We gave thema tour of the campus and dinner at ourstudent union and assisted with transportationissues as well, helping to make theirvisit as smooth and enjoyable as we could.We are looking forward to further exchangesof IACLEA international and nationalcollege police and security departments.Exchanges such as these help tomake the world a safer place. When personsfrom other counties meet and theyrealize “they are people too,” it’s hard tomaintain old stereotypes.GW University Police DepartmentReceives CALEA AccreditationContinued from page 37CALEA accreditation will allow the universityto recruit and retain top officers,further improving the caliber of the department.The UPD also sought to formalizeand strengthen management practicesand solidify interagency cooperation andcoordination. The UPD joins less than onepercent of campus police departmentsnationwide that have been awarded thislevel of recognition. In the District ofColumbia, only the Amtrak Police Department,Metro Transit Police, and the UnitedStates Capitol Police share this distinction.DC’s Metropolitan Police Department andGeorgetown University Public Safety Departmentare currently in the self-assessmentprocess of seeking accreditation.The GW UPD protects and serves theuniversity community by providing professionallaw enforcement services andactively promoting community involvementthrough progressive communitypolicing strategies and a commitment toeducation. UPD employs more than 150full-time personnel of which more than100 are uniformed officers and all ofwhom have attended an initial trainingseries of 700 hours, including a 250-hourcampus law enforcement training academy.UPD also offers several communitypublic safety programs, such as free selfdefensecourses for all female membersof the GW community.IACLEA Virtual Exhibition CenterIs Open for Business24 Hours a Day • 7 Days a Weekwww.iaclea.orgHistorical Law EnforcementItems WantedBy Fred Behr, Chair of the Media and Conference Displays 50th AnniversaryCommitteeIn 2008, IACLEA will be celebrating our50th Anniversary at the Annual Conferencein Hartford, Connecticut.

Report Highlights Campus Public Safety Preparednessfor Catastrophic EventsBy Christopher G. Blake, CAE, Associate DirectorThe devastation wrought in the Gulf Coastregion by hurricanes Katrina and Ritaunderscores the critical need for collegesand universities to shore up emergencyplanning, training, equipment, andcommunications, both within the campusand with other emergency responders,according to a new report.The devastation wrought in the Gulf Coastregion by hurricanes Katrina and Rita underscoresthe critical need for colleges anduniversities to shore up emergency planning,training, equipment, and communications,both within the campus and withother emergency responders, accordingto a new report.The report, entitled “Campus PublicSafety Preparedness for CatastrophicEvents: Lessons Learned from Hurricanesand Explosives,” was the product of atwo-day session with campus publicsafety leaders from the Gulf Coast heldMarch 21-22 in Lake Charles, Louisiana,and hosted by McNeese State University.The session was sponsored by the U.S.Department of Homeland Security (DHS),the Federal Bureau of Investigation, andthe International Association of CampusLaw Enforcement Administrators, Inc.(IACLEA).The purpose of the session was to bringtogether campus public safety leadersfrom the Gulf Coast region to identify keylessons learned that might be applied tofuture catastrophic events, whether naturalor man-made.“IACLEA urges policy makers and campusexecutives to carefully review thisreport and, where feasible, adopt thehard-fought lessons learned by your colleaguesfrom the Gulf Coast,” IACLEAPresident Steven J. Healy said.“This report provides an important resourcefor planning and preparing to protectthe lives and property of your campuscommunity, as well as the larger communityand region in which colleges anduniversities are located,” Healy said.The session also included briefings andidentification of lessons learned by campuspublic safety leaders from the Universityof Oklahoma and Georgia Techon incidents on both campuses involvingexplosives. A former Oklahoma studentself-detonated with an explosive deviceoutside of the football stadium during agame between Oklahoma and KansasState in October 2005.

Thereport urges colleges and universities to:• Develop or update a comprehensiveemergency operations plan that addressesall hazards and is exercisedon a regular basis. “During the hurricanes,”the report found, “manyschools found themselves withoutadequate plans and were forced toadopt hastily-planned responses.”• Extend preparations for provision ofsupplies and equipment to seven toten days of self-sufficiency. Many campuseshad emergency plans that providedfor supplies and equipment foronly three days of self-sufficiency inthe event of a loss of electrical powerand other services, which proved tobe unrealistic during the hurricanes.• Adopt mutual aid agreements withsurrounding law enforcement andemergency response agencies thatdefine command structures and thetypes of mutual aid that can be providedduring an emergency.• Plan and make arrangements withvendors and suppliers in advance forneeded supplies and services, suchas bottled water, food, fuel, transportation,and IT services.• Provide Incident Command System(ICS) training to command-level publicsafety staff and other emergencyresponders on campus who may bepart of a decision making structureduring an emergency event.Continued on page 40JULY/AUGUST 2006 / 39

Report Highlights Campus Public Safety Preparedness for Catastrophic EventsContinued from page 39• Ensure that college and universityadministrators are prepared to fulfilltheir roles and responsibilities in thecoordination of emergency responseand recovery efforts. Campus executiveswho have the authority to makedecisions during emergencies must beaccessible throughout the crisis.• Provide back-up and redundant communicationsequipment and support,in the event of the failure of a communicationssystem. “During the hurricanes,maintaining situational awarenesswas one of the greatest problemsencountered,” the report found.• Maintain adequate stocks of suppliesor make arrangements in advance torapidly obtain needed supplies. Manycampuses did not have an adequatesupply of fuel on hand for post-eventneeds, according to the report. Campuseswith national or regional foodservice contracts fared better duringthe recovery period because theywere able to obtain supplies not availablefrom local sources.• Provide equipment such as backupgenerators, and place generators inprotected areas where they are notlikely to become damaged by highwinds or flooding.• Develop an emergency Web site witha server at a remote location to facilitatecommunication with students, parents,faculty, staff and the communityduring and after an emergency.Copies of the report will be availableon the IACLEA Web site atwww.iaclea.org or by contacting IACLEAWMD Project Director Christopher G.Blake, CAE, at (860) 586-7517, ext. 565,or cblake@iaclea.org40 / Campus Law Enforcement Journal
