Healy Instructing Clery Training

Managing Partner Steven Healy will be an instructor at the 2009 Clery Act training seminar hosted by the Fairfield University Department of Public Safety, sole recipient of the 2008 Jeanne Clery Award.

The seminar is organized through Security On Campus, Inc., the only national, non-profit organization devoted exclusively to assisting the victims of violence on college campuses and to improving campus security.  Founded in 1987 by Connie & Howard Clery, following the murder of their daughter at Lehigh University in 1986, Security On Campus was the driving force behind the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, now known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, requiring all colleges receiving federal funds to report crime statistics. Until 1988, only four percent of America’s colleges reported crime statistics to the FBI. 

The 10-hour comprehensive instruction course is drawing security chiefs and other campus officials from throughout New England and as far away as Arizona.  The seminar covers areas related to security programs, victim support services and collecting and reporting crime data and this year is updating its program to include 2008 reporting requirements on:

•  Expanded Hate Crime Reporting
•  Partnering With Local Police
•  Emergency Response & Immediate Notification
