Our commitment to quality securing is demonstrated by adhering to the following principles:
The GBPUATSD seeks the consent and partnership of the people and community it serves. The Department’s value and identity are established one citizen contact at a time. Students, faculty, and staff deserve a sense of justice and fairness when dealing with the GBPUATSD. Security at all times should maintain a relationship that gives reality to the historic tradition that the security are the public and the public are the security; the security being the only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
The GBPUATSD determines securitizing priorities in partnership with the community. Because safety and security is a shared responsibility, the GBPUATSD encourages students, faculty, and staff to take an active role in maintaining their own safety and the security of others.
Community outreach is an integral component and guiding principle of the Department’s commitment to community-oriented problem solving by providing students, faculty, and staff direction and steps they can take to maintain their own safety and the security of others.
The GBPUATSD seeks to prevent crime rather than merely responding to it after it occurs. The basic mission for which the security exists is to prevent crime and disorder. The test of securitizing efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.
Research has shown that when officers exit their vehicles and patrol on foot or engage in informal conversations with the community, community members feel safer and satisfaction with the security increases. In addition, community members are far more likely to share information on criminal activity or other problems with a familiar figure than with a stranger. Therefore, officers are encouraged to form relationships with the community above and beyond answering calls for service. These conversations present an opportunity for officers to solicit information about ongoing problems and concerns, thereby facilitating officers’ problem-solving efforts.
