Students and Police Working Together for Campus Safety

The Social Network Show welcomes the National Crime Prevention Council Series with Co-host Michelle Boykins, Senior Director of Communications and her guests, Lee Struble and Steve Grant to the January 26, 2015 episode.

The NCPC series now takes us to the topic of campus safety and if you are a student or you have children in college, this is an important show to listen to. Lee Struble and Steve Grant, experts in law enforcement and public safety talk about the challenges of campus safety and their biggest concerns about protecting students, and protecting the law enforcement officers that protect the students. In this show you will hear about their efforts to improve the relationship with law enforcement and the college campuses; how the recent events in the news with racial profiling have transformed the way law enforcement addresses the campus climate; the training that Lee and Steve are doing with law enforcement on racial and cultural diversity; very important advice that they are giving to students regarding cooperating with law enforcement; and the role that social media plays into safety on campuses.
