Roughly one month into the fall semester at Temple University, students have already received alerts about safety issues near campus.
On Tuesday night, the university says there was a knife-point robbery at 17th and Diamond streets that did not involve a student. There was also a home invasion off-campus on Sydenham Street, that did involve a student held at gunpoint.
"We want it to be safe, we want them to have a great environment and great experience here, you also still have to be concerned that you are living in a major city in the United States that, like all cities, is dealing with crime and violence," she says. Dr. Griffin is doing a 90-day "listen and learn"—she wants to get out as much as she can within the community and within her own agency to find out where they are with communication, recruitment and retainment, and crime reduction strategies.
"It’s unfortunate because it can lead to fatigue and burnout is you have to hold people over from the earlier shift," she says. "I would say I’m really excited about it, actually," says Dr. Griffin. "They are looking not just at crime stats or mental health calls for service, but they are looking at, what are things inside the organization that we can do better?"
