Colleagues - Hello from UMass Boston. My department oversees conference and event services campus-wide. Occasionally campus police are assigned to an event. Currently this includes events with alcohol, dance parties, and events that may require campus police to ensure safety. I am reaching out to other campuses to ask: What criteria does your campus use to determine when a public safety officer is assigned? Do you have a specific set of criteria or an assignment grid/chart? In short, what resources are available to event planners to help them to determine if/when a public safety officer may be assigned?
Please feel free to reply in the forum, or email me directly:
