A full service Public Safety Department dedicated to fostering cooperative working relationships with the University community to maintain an environment conducive to teaching, learning, research and public service.

 

II.  Statement of Long-Range Goals (3-5 years)

  1. Expansion of community education programs – Continue the development and delivery of programs for the University and local community in the areas of the crime awareness and crime prevention.  Programs are targeted at increasing community awareness and improving student and campus life.   Programs are conducted throughout the academic years targeting specific crimes that impact the students, staff and/or faculty at Clayton State University.  Success is measured through attendance, non-Clayton State University community participation, and third-party financial support. 

  2. Increase effectiveness of police and safety services –Through staff development, evaluation of equipment needs, and implementation of programs as required the Department will increase response and reactive operations to potential threats.  Program needs will include other departments as required for specific goals, i.e. Facilities Management – facility security; Procurement Services – mail safety/security; Emergency Building Coordinators – emergency response training.  Success will be evaluated through the effectiveness of the programs from delivery to actual implementation by the Public Safety Department and participating departments.

  3. Improve parking services and facilities – Identify procedures, and methods for convenient access to report, parking administration, and fee collection procedures.  Programs will be continual, requiring modification with increased enrollment, identification of additional secondary users i.e. archives, etc., upon evaluation of procedures implemented.   Success will be measured by the number of processes that are available in more convenient methods for the University community via web, and/or telephone services.
