Solutions to City Crime Spillover

Campus police departments are usually faced with safety concerns over
geographical areas that can extend for miles off campus. They must also find a way to work efficiently with local law enforcement agencies and community groups.

In addition, technology and city infrastructure challenges often interfere with campus police response and their coordination efforts with other local agencies.

The purpose of this webinar is to identify challenges specific to campus policing in urban environments, as well as provide potential solutions and recommendations for addressing them.

There's no written playbook for successfully navigating these issues, but some colleges and universities have forged new paths by leveraging technology to be effective and improve safety. 

Watch this webinar to learn:

  • Actionable strategies to address city crime spillover

  • Ways to optimize campus police department resources

  • Ways to provide better safety to faculty and students while balancing the campus safety needs with the needs of the surrounding communities
