“如果你发现了什么不对劲的地方,不要害怕说出来."
Shad Crowe is Emergency Management Director for Utica College.
其使命是改善尤蒂卡学院校园和人口的安全和基础设施, 应急管理主任和前纽约州骑警沙德·克劳接受了记者的采访&A about where he comes from and what he hopes to achieve at UC.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself.
A: I grew up in Sauquoit Valley. I went to LeMoyne College, 我在哪里获得了财务和管理信息系统的学位. 在LeMoyne的时候,我也打棒球,这是我从小到大最喜欢的运动. 大学毕业后,我参加了州警察考试,获得了进入警校的资格. 我作为纽约州骑警的第一个工作地点是在普莱西德湖. A few years later, I transferred to Mooresville and then to Marcy. 在那段时间里, I was also an instructor at the State Police Academy, where I taught various courses. In 2002, 我成为了纽约州特别行动反应小组的一员, where I spent 11 years as a SWAT member, 其中6人担任纽约州中西部地区的监督员. I responded to and worked in many highly publicized incidents, such as the terror attacks of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. I went all over the country for training, 但我的大部分时间都花在了关键事件和紧急反应上. 退休后,我在一家名为“调查解决方案网络”(ISN)的加拿大公司工作。, 我的职责包括威胁和危害识别和风险分析,为企业客户推荐减轻风险和限制暴露于内部和外部威胁的方法.
问:请给我们介绍一下你在加州大学的背景.
A: Director of Emergency Management is a new position at UC. 然而, 学院于2016年开始制定应急行动计划, 聘请震中媒体从法规和诉讼的角度来评估UC,并确定内部和外部威胁. 震中媒体制定了应急行动计划,并建议聘请一名应急管理主任. 虽然很多人认为这是对三月份发生的事件的反应, it had actually been in the works for some time. Because of its progressive approach, the College had developed a Crisis Emergency Management Team, which allowed UC to respond very well to the March incident. 该团队还开始考虑,如果发生其他事故,他们可以采取哪些其他安全措施.
Q: What are your goals and plans for the new position?
答:我的主要目标之一是改进大规模通知基础设施. 这包括外部通知设备,如公共广播系统, 塞壬, 还有其他技术可以帮助通知外面的人,校园内或附近发生了某种紧急情况. 我还想改进,并在某些情况下建立,在课堂上的大规模通知提醒. 我还希望将通知系统与门禁控制集成在一起, 相机控制, and other security features. 另一个重要的重点是帮助IITS做好准备,以应对可能中断其服务的任何类型的事件. 在基层,通过培训和指导,我想帮助人们提高意识. 提高对环境的关注可以通过态势感知训练来完成. This is the ideology behind the Sparky and Sandy scavenger hunts. 狩猎是一种有趣的方式,可以突出校园里专门用于应急响应的区域, as well as to identify on campus resources available to students. I also plan to have active shooter training, 消防演习, crisis management training, and de-escalation training. 通过这些计划, 我的最终目标是让学生和员工不仅在校园里更安全, but when they are off campus as well.
问:在大学里,安全问题是如何变得越来越受关注的?你认为这是为什么?
答:我认为这个问题越来越令人担忧,因为世界已经发生了变化. 有了新技术,有了更多的危险,人们的警觉性也提高了,尤其是在9/11之后. 这是一个重要的问题,因为它有助于整合校园安全,环境健康和安全的变化计划,并确保计划是经过深思熟虑的,并符合OSHA的规章制度. 我认为应急管理政策和程序是一个活生生的文件. It should always change with technology and the times. 随着技术的, 文化, and people’s mindsets change, an Emergency Management Director has to be aware, 思想开放的, 并且随时准备改变他们的安保措施.
问:学生、教师和工作人员可以做些什么来让我们的大学社区更安全?
A: Communication is of the utmost importance. 当今世界的一个问题是,人们真的很擅长说话, but it seems as though fewer and fewer are good at listening. If we can talk in a civil tone and listen to one another, a lot of the problems that we thought we had might not be there. 我们谈到的另一个重要的安全措施是,注意你周围的环境. 如果你发现了什么不对劲的地方,不要害怕说出来. 有很多人,学生可以去校园谈论这些问题,包括校园安全, 卫生局, 院长, 教职员工. 我所见过的最令人印象深刻的事情之一是卡萨门托校长和潘尼斯蒂尔教务长对安全和保障的奉献精神. President Casamento hosts open office hours for students. 令我印象深刻的是,在这些会议上讨论的问题并没有被置若罔闻. Those concerns are then brought to the President’s Cabinet. 沟通, 意识到, 有一个愿意付出巨大努力的人真的有助于维护大学社区的安全.
