 Re: University of Delaware Campus Safety

 Mr. Patrick Ogden:  We are writing to you because we would like to be given the opportunity to analyze the safety of your jurisdiction and issue a report concerning our findings. We believe that any research, analysis or recommendations that we provide to the Department of Public Safety will be hugely beneficial in making University of Delaware campus and surrounding Newark area a better place for its students, faculty and other community members.

Campus Safety Consultants has created a group of five experienced public safety experts (Krista Bussi, Corrine Drost, Keith Delaney, Tyler Groff, and Jenna Shaw) to take a look at the current safety of your campus and its surrounding area. As a team we would like to complete a survey on how safe University students feel when they are on campus. We will analyze this information with other research and make recommendations to create a safer campus and come closer to accomplishing the ongoing goal of striving to improve the quality of services that the University of Delaware provides.

Enclosed is our proposal, which further details our purpose for this project. Thank you for your time and consideration, we look forward to sitting down with you and discussing our ideas for advancing the safety of the University of Delaware.

Sincerely,

Campus Safety Consultants

 Enclosed: Formal proposal

**Introduction:**

<span style="display: inline ! important; font-weight: normal;">Campus safety consultants will asses how safe the students at the University of Delaware feel. Through our research we will design a plan that will increase the safety at the University and the public's confidence of the community. By researching this issue of campus security, we will be able to convey to all university students and faculty the importance of this issue and how to keep themselves safer, and what to do in certain situations. We hope to extend the University's role as the primary safety provider not only within the official campus boundaries but also to its off-campus areas. We will do this by submitting new ideas and safety measures that if implemented should have the effect of making the University of Delaware not only a safer campus and better school but a stronger member of the Delaware community.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Background of the Problem:**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Many believe that criminal activity and public safety on the campus of the University of Delaware is a relatively small problem. While that might be true compared to some other college towns, every city can always improve in the protection of its citizens. The University of Delaware and City of Newark are not any different. Any criminal activity should be viewed as something that needs to be examined. In past dealings with other colleges and universities, a major problem on school campuses is the public perception of their own safety as <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">the spend time attending work, social gathering and other activities not necessarily directly on campus property but in the surrounding areas. Other Immediate safety issues that we are concerned with include on and off campus security and walking throughout the City of Newark at all hours of the day.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Exhibit1 titled //Crime Rates for Newark, DE and the National Average// in the Appendix compares the statistics of Newark, Delaware to the national average for each specific crime. Newark is above the national average for most of these types of crimes. Larceny theft has the biggest discretion which is directly related to the number of incidents that occur in off campus housing. The table illustrates the need for the University of Delaware to take a further look at its procedures to help kick start a decline of these property and personal crimes not only to the National averages but below them.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Exhibit 2 also included in the Appendix is a chart which shows the importance that campus safety has in a student's decision making process on what college school to attend. Campus safety ranks as the most important non-academic criteria. It ranks higher <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">then off campus social life, geographical area and residential facilities in importance. This table shows how reevaluating your campus safety procedures will directly lead to a more attractive academic environment for perspective students for the University of Delaware.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Objectives:**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Campus Safety Consultant's goal is the development and implementation of safety procedures that ensure the best possible safety and security for University of Delaware students, staff and visitors not only while directly on campus but as well in the surrounding Newark area. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> This will be done through:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Increase the public confidence of the security of To determine campus safety issues and how to improve/solve them
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Address off campus safety concerns
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Strengthen existing programs and devise new programs or procedures

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Procedure**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Campus Safety Consultants standard procedure when working looking at security measures is to break down our research into three stages. The first step we call the discovery of the problem stage. Here, our main goal will be to find the underlying problem or problems with the safety on the University of Delaware campus. The second step then takes on the task of researching how to solve those problems in the most efficient manner with regards to costs as well as functionality. The last stage is a the authoring of a formal report that gathers and analyzes all of our findings from the previous two stages. Upon acceptance of this proposal a report will be issued by May 17th, 2011. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> 1) Discovery of the Problem <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> First, research will be conducted to discover problems with safety on University of Delaware's Campus. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">2) Research the best possible solutions and implementations needed to attain a safe campus <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">3) Report

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Executive Summary**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> This report by Campus Safety Consultants contains the extensive research done in the area of public safety on the University of Delaware campus and the surrounding Newark area. The purpose of this report is to provide the University of Delaware Public Safety Department the necessary information needed to assess what changes should be made to improve the safety of members of the University of Delaware.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> We developed a survey that was completed by University students that provided us with a better understanding of the concerns that they have while living on campus. We also were able to correspond with an officer of the University of Delaware police department which clarified certain safety programs that have been discontinued or changed due to concerns that students were abusing those services. We then took a further look at how the University of Delaware c<span style="color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">ompared to other cities and college campuses in regards to crime rates. This research helped us discover the true problems that the University faces.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Stage two of our research focused on finding solutions to the problems we identified in the discovery stage. We reviewed current University of Delaware programs and procedures and if they could be adapted or<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> broaden to help solve some of the problems we identified. Our research in this stage also included work done looking at other colleges and how they handle the topic of security on campus.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> The last section of this report provides, in our professional opinion, the most effective recommendations that the University of Delaware should implement to improve the safety of all. Those recommendations include on and off campus buddy systems, on-campus sign in system and increase<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> if safety features such as the current blue light system that the University of Delaware current uses.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Introduction**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">** Every city and college campus around the nation faces the problem of criminal activity in their jurisdiction. This creates the need for a strong police or public safety force in order to protect all community members. This continuation of criminal activity makes these same safety enforcers continuously reevaluate their programs and procedures to develop the best possible plan to protect their citizens. This report will serve as a guide for the University of Delaware Public Safety Department so that they may implement the most c ost efficie nt and functional programs to their current safety programs and services. The report will help UD Public Safety continue in the goal of providing the safest possible environment for the University's student, staff, and visitors. Campus Safety Consultants has done extensive research in order to identify exactly what are the main problems in Newark and how to most effectively solve those problems. We hope that the University reevaluates their current programs and strongly considers our recommendations at the end of this report. These recommendations are direct responses to the problem areas that we have discovered from our research. Following provides details of our procedures and results from our research. **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Procedure and Results**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Procedure**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Our initial research delved into wh<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">at are current and past policies are ther e at the University of Delaware
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-top: 0in;">Provide free safety escorts for students and staff between any University properties and some off campus locations. On occasion and certain circumstances, vehicle escorts will be provided.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Vehicle escorts were stopped on a “call basis” because students were abusing the rides just as a form of transportation instead of needing it for safety reasons. This led to wait times of up to an hour because many students were calling and abusing the safe rides.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">All students in residence halls are provided with a “key FOB” which allows them to access the building. Anyone trying to get into the building without one of these will not be granted access. Public Safety also encourages students to not let strangers follow in behind them into residence halls. This decreases the amount of strangers let into the building who should not be there.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-top: 0in;">Public Safety also follows the Student Code of Conduct, students are responsible for their non-student guests, and will be charged judicially even if it is their guest(s) who broke the rules**.**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Offers different safety programs and different events held on campus and a list of their safety tips can also be found on their website.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Public Safety has security cameras throughout campus. Cameras are often placed near resident halls, school buildings and other student centers. It is expected that the number of cameras on campus will grow in the future.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Public Safety also allows for students to register their bicycles or laptops with them, in case they are stolen.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">We researched on our own to find out information regarding safety and crime rates on the University of Delaware’s campus. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">After we collected our own data on the safety of the University, we made a survey to give to students who attend the University of Delaware and asked them how safe they felt on campus; we asked them to specify where they felt most safe on campus, and where they felt least safe. The survey was conducted by 34 students between the ages of 19-22. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">We then collected data from Adrienne Thomas, a master police officer from the University of Delaware Police Department, by E-mail to gather more information on the Universities escort services, as well as other transportation services to keep their students safe. Other questions were asked regarding information on patrolling residence halls, and programs they hold to help students become more aware of how to stay safe on campus.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Once we gathered all information we needed from the University of Delaware we continued our research with analyzing other schools and their safety. We first looked up the 25 safest college campuses, many of the information gathered ranked schools with a much smaller student population than the University of Delaware. So we researched schools such as University of Virginia and Towson University both in which compare to The University of Delaware. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">After, comparing these three Universities we found that they were very similar; with many students feeling relatively safe on campus, with all having escort services, blue lights, and emergency phones. We then chose to research further larger schools that rank higher in their safety category than the University of Delaware. The University of Mississippi was ranked top 10 safest school in 2009, we examined their University Police Department to find that their safety efforts went further than the University of Delaware’s to extend their escort service, a vehicle escort service; as well as a 24 hour patrol around campus.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Results**

In order to appropriately approach the issue of campus safety, the research conducted was very vital. Our team spent hours researching other University campuses that ranked similar to the University of Delaware to see how they deal with crime on campus. Also, our team felt it was necessary to compare and contrast safety programs that have been implemented on other campuses. A program that is successful on a campus similar to Delaware could foreshadow the likeliness of its’ ability to be successful in Newark. Online research was conducted through websites such as collegeprowler.com and dailybest.com, in order to compile relevant statistics.

Safety issues are not uncommon on large college campuses. After researching the 25 safest college campuses the safest University is Cardinal Stritch University. Cardinal Stritch University has just over 6,000 students (dailybest.com). The University of Delaware has over 17,000 students which allows for more crime to occur. Our research compares University of Delaware to three equivalent Universities; Towson University and University of Virginia. Another University that we researched was University of Mississippi, which ranked top 10 safest Universities in 2009. University of Mississippi is a larger school with over 14,000 students. All campuses ha ve crime, what man y colleges should be doing is informing their students of the crime that occurs as well as informing the students of ways to stay safe.

The following information is from collegeprowler.com. We found that The University of Delaware is considered for the most part a safe school. The University of Delaware has 48 Public Safety officers that patrol the campus. A poll that was taken through College Prowler showed that the majority of University of Delaware students felt that University Police are there when you need them, but are not overbearing. The majority of the crime on campus has to do with alcohol and youth. The majority of University of Delaware students go on to graduate without ever having an issue with safety. Nearly half of all University of Delaware students live off-campus where transportation services do not cover.

Towson University is located in one of America’s most dangerous counties, but the University itself is relatively safe. Towson is ranked just below University of Delaware in safety. The majority of incidences that Towson has related to crime are burglaries. Towson students do not have a high concern for crime but are notified by University police if an incident occurs. University police posts alerts after every crime, the University also has well lit walkways with blue lights, and emergency phones. Students must also take part in a program at orientation that informs students of ways to stay safe while on campus. When entering any dorm on the Campus of Towson you must show your identification card and must be signed in by the person you are visiting. Visitors who come that do not attend the Towson, must sign in accompanied by the resident of the dorm room you are visiting and show a form of identification.

At the University of Virginia police are very noticeable having 59 university police officers, and 71 security workers, as well as the town of Charlottesville’s police force. Just like Delaware and Towson, Virginia has blue lights, phones, and escort services. The University students sometimes get too comfortable with the safety at the University of Virginia, that is when crime occurs on campus; when students are walking by themselves, and are not aware of their surroundings.

At University of Mississippi, students say that they feel they have little to worry about in terms of safety. The University has a 24-hour patrol that watched for suspicious behavior, as well as a program called “rebel patrol”. This is a program ran by the University Police Department that will pick up students anywhere after dark and take them back to their residence halls.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">In conducting research, we created a survey for UD students to take that asked questions about their experience with Campus Safety. It can be located at @https://delaware.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_erg3a8dH8o7MAbG.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">__Demographics__ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">34 People participated in the survey. People taking this survey were all UD students, age 19-22, graduating between 2011 and 2013. There were more females than males, but the ratio of girls/boys to feeling safe/unsafe was approximately the same.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">__Results and Analysis__

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">**Campus Safety** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Most students have felt unsafe at some point walking on University of Delaware’s. For Results, see Pie Chart 1: Feeling Unsafe on UD Campus, or Question 1.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Students were then asked to rank areas of campus based on their safety. (Question 3) West Campus was determined to be the least safe, while Main campus and Main Street were deemed to be the most. Main Street was included in the survey because it is central to campus, but it is unclear whether Main Street is deemed most safe because there are more people present, or because it is more often patrolled by Newark police in addition to UD Public Safety. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Of those who felt unsafe, it was mostly during late night, or other times of the day that it is dark and there is no public transportation running. Because of this, it is important to have some type of transportation during these perceived times of unsafely. See Bar Graph 1: When Students Feel Unsafe, Question 2.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Additionally, the biggest concern on campus safety was walking around campus. See Pie Chart 2: Biggest Concern on Campus Saftey, question 6.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">**Safe Rides** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">People found campus most unsafe during times of no public transportation and thought walking on campus was their number one safety concern. Because of this, it is important to examine the transportation offered late night. Unfortunately, the safe rides offered by Public Safety have been cancelled, but people were surveyed to learn about their past experience with the program. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Most students had not called Public Safety for a ride before they cancelled the safety ride service. See Pie Chart 3: Calling Public Safety. Of those who did, most had not abused the service and had used the program multiple times. See questions 4,5,8. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">One student who had campus safety for a ride said, "I have called public safety escorts before…. it was honestly more of an inconvenience because it took them forever to show up."

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Conclusion and Recommendations**

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Implementation of Two New Safety Programs __

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Off Campus Bud****dy Program**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Students living off campus would provide public safety with their cellular phone and campus address.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Students will be able to call Public Safety any time during the day that they plan on going out. They can ask public safety to call them at a specific time during the night in order to ensure that they safely home or walking.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Public safety will be able to assist students on campus if they need help during the phone call, or if the student does not pick up within 3 calls of the chosen time. Public safety will go to their provided address and make sure they are home safe.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Relevance:**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">By establishing better communication lines between public safety and off campus students, off campus crimes should be reduced. This will give students the ability to have public safety check up on them at their off campus homes. This should make it less attractive for criminals to break and enter other people's homes or to follow someone home.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**On Campus Sign-In Program**


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Students living in all dormitories will be required to sign out of the building and sign in to the building with valid UD ID upon their return, during certain hours of the day. (from 10 PM – 7 AM)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Public Safety officer(s) working the sign-in stations will then be able to verify if all students are accounted for during these late hours. If not returned, a call or text message will be sent to student just to acknowledge they are staying somewhere else.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">People trying to get into any dormitory without a valid UD ID will not be granted access unless they are with a UD student who must sign them in, and verify that they know the person.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">**Relevance:**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The sign in program will greatly improve overall safety on campus. Being able to account for all students during odd hours will make it possible to know that the students are safe. By requiring valid UD IDs to get into dorms during certain hours, it will prevent the possibility of any random person entering the building and causing problems or theft. This will keep the overall area surrounding dorms safe and under patrol. People who are not accounted for and without proper identification will be asked to vacate the dorms and the surrounding area.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> The development of these two new safety programs, one for students living on campus and one for students living off campus, will drastically increase the amount of safety services students will receive while attending the University.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Added Safety Features **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The amount of “help button stations” on campus will be doubled and added to all off campus streets and housing areas. There are currently no stations located anywhere off campus.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Areas that should should have blue lights are mainly along Main Street and Cleveland Avenue.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; margin-left: 0.75in; text-indent: -0.25in;">The amount of public safety and police cars patrolling all on and off campus areas should be increased by 15.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Our survey highlighted that students felt the most unsafe in the west part of campus. When doing physical research in that area we noticed that students who were walking back to their dorms (especially Dickinson) have a long walk through a lightly treed area. We recommend that this area, an increase in the overhead lightening is needed. Blue light help button stations would also cause an increase in students' confidence of their security in this area. A conscious effort by public safety officers should also be made to patrol this area because of the perspective as being an unsafe area on campus.

 * Public Safety Response Letter**

Thank you for sending your questions to the Department of Public Safety. Please look through the answers below and let me know if you have any additional questions.

1.The Department of Public Safety has always had a policy to provide the University Community safety escorts and this policy can be found at www.udel.edu/publicsafety. The policy states: “The University of Delaware Department of Public Safety provides a free walking escort service for students, staff and faculty to or from any University property or contiguous street, and specific areas off campus that immediately border the Hen after Ten bus route.” This policy has always been in place and it has not changed for years. During the time frame that Public Safety did provide safety escorts in vehicles, the policy still stated that they would provide “free walking escorts.” The riding escorts were a convenience for the University Community and for those providing the escorts. The department still does offer vehicle escorts on occasion and in certain circumstances however the majority of the safety escorts are walking escorts in which the UD shuttle buses are utilized when convenient.

The Department of Public Safety stopped offering the convenience of safety escorts in vehicles due to the fact that the service was being abused by students who used it as a free ride as opposed to the students using it as a way to get somewhere safely. Because of the amount of students abusing the vehicle safety escorts during late night hours on the weekends, the wait time often exceeded an hour for everyone requesting the service. This prevented students who were truly concerned for their safety from receiving the service in a timely manner. By not offering vehicle safety escorts anymore, the department is still able to provide safety escorts to those who are actually looking to be safely escorted around campus as opposed to those just looking for a free ride.

2. Safety escorts are still being offered during the hours of darkness to the University community. The safety escorts utilize the UD shuttle buses when traveling longer distances. It is unlikely that the department can reinstate vehicle safety escorts without having issues of students abusing the service because the department is committed to providing anyone who requests a safety escort with the free service.

3. Every student who lives in a residence hall is provided with a key FOB that allows them access to their building. A record of the usage of key FOBs is maintained for each building. Students are encouraged not to let anyone “tailgate” into the building behind them. This means holding doors for others so that they don’t have to use their key FOB to get into the building. Not allowing strangers into the building behind you could significantly decrease the amount of people in residence halls who may not belong there.

The Student Code of Conduct clearly states that all residents are responsible for their guests and will be charged judicially if their guests do not follow the rules. This policy is in order to allow for students to have the freedom of inviting guests on campus while insisting that the students take responsibility for their guests. In addition to this, the Department of Public Safety has added several security cameras around campus that capture those coming and going from some residence halls. The security camera initiative is still growing and will eventually cover a wide majority of campus.

4. The Department of Public Safety offers safety programs at various campus events throughout the year, and upon request, to the University community. In addition, there is a list of safety tips on the department’s website. Students are also encouraged to register their bicycles and lap tops with Public Safety as these items are the primary targets for theft.

Again, please let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thank you,

Master Police Officer A. Thomas University of Delaware Police Department Adrienne.Thomas@admin.udel.edu (302)831-2224
