Temple University released the findings and recommendations of a nearly year-long comprehensive report from former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey and his firm examining safety on and near the school’s campus. BSheehanTV has the details:
“Is the crime near campus adversely affecting enrollment for next year?” NBC10’s Brian Sheehan asked Epps during the presentation.
The 68 recommendations from the audit include establishing a safety partnership zone for North Philadelphia, engaging Pennsylvania State Police to patrol areas off campus, creating a “Response Resource Task Force” made up of representatives from Temple, Philadelphia Police, the District Attorney’s Office and other law enforcement agencies, and enticing more people – such as those in Temple’s criminal justice program – to join and stay on Temple’s police force.
Dr. Jennifer Griffin, Temple’s Vice President for public safety, named public trust, collaboration, communication, recruitment and retainment of qualified officers and training as the audit recommendations that should be prioritized. Dr. Griffin said the university is already increasing and upgrading the campus camera system as well as updating its hiring and recruitment process.
