Adopt-A-Dorm
The Adopt-A-Dorm program is one of our most popular and longstanding
programs. It was originally developed as a means to establish a rapport
between the University Police Department and the student population.
Generally Adopt-A-Dorm officers engage in such activities as assisting
in giving
various presentations to
the students and educating them on important issues. Officers
coordinate these programs with the Crime Prevention Officer.
Adopt-A-Dorm presentations cover a range of topics from personal
safety,
physical security, and fire safety. Each semester Resident Hall
Assistants
may pick topics that they feel are important to their dorm and it is
the
responsibility of the Cime Prevention Officer and officers assigned to
their dorm to design and
present a
presentation covering the adopted topics. This involvement gives the
Adopt-A-Dorm the opportunity to act as a visible
role model and to develop a rapport with the students.
