The most beneficial aspect of this dynamic, interactive training is the opportunity to discover and discuss what the Clery Act requires.  This kind of one-on-one attention and guidance is invaluable given the importance of adhering to the Cleary Act.  James Morrow, UNLV Police Department

The Curriculum

The Clery Center’s Jeanne Clery Act Training Seminars (CATS) curriculum was designed by a true multidisciplinary team of experts and practitioners in the field of campus law enforcement and student affairs. The curriculum was fully revised in 2011 to address participant suggestions, compliance challenges, and new concepts.

Each day and a half seminar includes presentations on:

  • Emergency Response and Alerting Your Campus Community
  • The Four W’s of Crime Reporting (Who, Where, When, and What)
  • Building a Safer Campus Community (Prevention Education and Sexual Violence Guidelines)
  • Bringing It All Together in the Annual Security Report

Each session is taught by an expert in his or her field and is designed to be interactive. There are exercises and opportunities to learn how different offices on campus can come together, not only to better comply with the Act, but also to truly embrace the spirit of the law.

The Clery Center encourages institutions to send collaborative teams to maximize the benefit of the training. Our sessions include information for those working in campus public safety, administration, counseling, student conduct/judicial affairs, risk management, and legal counsel

Securitas USA – Advances in Technology Aid in Identifying Campus Threats

Securitas USA – Advances in Technology Aid in Identifying Campus Threats

Security on a college campus presents a unique set of challenges. A safe and secure campus is one of the highest priorities for administrators and parents, while students crave an open environment. Security officers must manage to observe not just outside threats, but also be aware of a young population living on their own for the first time. Technology and training are making a huge difference. Computing mobility changes the way security officers can report observations, and with advanced campus awareness training an officer can report an incident as it occurs by using a tablet. Securitas USA officers log daily activity reports through similar mobile technology, and through their observations, certain pre-incident indicators can be “red tagged.” Tagged data allows Campus Threat Assessment Teams – typically comprised of school administrators – to highlight perceived vulnerabilities and generate notifications as patterns emerge. Capturing consistent information is vital and without the ability to assess the data on a frequent basis, vulnerabilities and threats may go unnoticed. To learn more about how Securitas USA can assist your college or university in managing risk, please contact Barbara McCormack at (617) 568-8743.

FEI Crisis Management – 20 years of crisis management consultation

FEI Crisis Management – Providing the Help You Need, When You Need It Most

No campus wants to imagine the worst case scenario, yet the perception of your preparedness in the wake of a disaster will have a significant impact on your reputation and the continuity of your business. The ultimate impact of a crisis is determined by how well that crisis was addressed before, during, and after an actual event.

With over 20 years of crisis management consultation, we operate a network of 20 call centers around the country to handle the extremely high volume of calls that an incident will generate. This will relieve the burden that those calls will place on your internal telecommunications system. In addition, we provide a network of trained, experienced on-site responders to assist your team in managing the crisis. In order to ensure the safety of your campus, contact FEI today for a complimentary review of our Crisis Management services.

For more information, please contact Diane Barbieri at (800) 782-1948, Ext. 6525, email at dbarbieri@feinet.com , or visit us at www.feinet.com
