Campus Security Guidelines: Recommended Operational Policies for Local and Campus Law Enforcement Agencies

Multi-agency coordination is always complicated for law enforcement, but when one of those agencies is responsible for safety on college campuses, there are unique challenges. In partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Major Cities Chiefs (MCC) seek to address those challenges between local and campus law enforcement with these recommended guidelines. The Campus Security Guidelines provide law enforcement with recommendations to improve the ongoing relationships with campus public safety and major city police departments. The Campus Security Guidelines represent a collaborative effort between local and campus law enforcement. The project began with a meeting to identify the major issues between local and campus law enforcement. Participants included police chiefs and command staff from major city police departments and campus chiefs from schools located in the same cities. At the meeting, representatives from local and campus departments were able to discuss the critical issues which need to be addressed to improve coordination. As a result of the ideas developed in this meeting, two surveys were created: the first was sent to every member city of MCC, the second to the campus public safety departments located in those cities. The surveys questioned the existing relationships, plans, and formal agreements. After the results of the surveys were compiled, representatives from local and campus law enforcement met again, this time to analyze the results and develop consensus for the recommended guidelines that follow. The Campus Security Guidelines are organized in four sections: 1. Policies and Agreements 2. Prevention and Preparedness 3. Coordinated Response 4. After Action
