Campus Safety, Security Under Microscope: Part II
Well, I’m making progress on my commitment one year ago to become a card-carrying CERT
(Community Emergency Response Team) member: my name is on a CERT training participant’s
roster for a future CERT class. I have also been paying very close attention to articles on campus
security, particularly as they relate to (1) guns on campus, (2) troubled students; (3) response to
campus emergencies and (4) prevention efforts to thwart violence on campus. Before I share a
“bibliography” of articles on the above concerns--#1 through #4 above—I wanted the reader to know
that the Center for Personal Protection & Safety (1-800-990-4541; [email protected]) has
John Wilt
released a training program called Shots Fired: Guidance for Surviving an Active Shooter Incident.
The cost of the DVD is $495 and the order form indicates that Shots Fired is “currently being used
by many Fortune 100 companies and over 275 colleges and universities across the U.S.” According to a June 27, 2008
Chronicle of Higher Education story, for another $1,000, “colleges can buy media files of the video to put up on their
Web sites.” The following articles which have extensive comments on the concerns expressed above span a six-month
period from March 2008 to August 2008:

Out of all the articles/stories referenced here, there is certainly one that I would
highly recommend to my fellow educators. It is the April 18, 2008 Chronicle of
Higher Education news article by Morton M. Silverman who is a senior advisor
to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, senior medical advisor to the Jed
Foundation, and clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University
of Chicago where he previously served as director of student counseling and
associate dean of students. In their Chronicle story called “Campus Security
Begins With Caring”, the Jed Foundation, the Suicide Prevention Resource Center
and Dr. Silverman “recommend that colleges take a comprehensive approach to
promoting mental health on campuses.” Institutions should:

in brief
I was in Italy 1-11 July singing with the Northern
Virginia Chorale. We sang seven times, mostly
in churches for community concerts. Two,
however, were for mass at the churches. One of
the masses was at St Marks Basilica in Venice.
That was really cool. We sang on various nights
with choirs from France, Spain, Germany and
Austria. Had a wonderful time.
Retirement is good.

The exhibit addresses how 9/11
concerns over homeland security have
led thousands of Americans to volunteer
for various citizen emergency response
groups, such as the Civil Air Patrol, U.S.
Coast Guard Auxiliary, Community
Emergency Response Teams, fire units,
etc. His talk focuses new attention on
the subject of citizen volunteerism by
chronicling the nature and purpose of
volunteer police units—authorized
organizations of a public or private
nature that work at deterring crime
and/or preventing terrorism for little or
no monetary compensation—inAmerica
since 1620. Some historical groups
responsible for maintaining the civil
order of the day—slave patrols, frontier
posses, vice suppression societies,
the American Protective League, for
example—now seem controversial when
viewed through a contemporary lens. VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE NEWSLETTER
