Security Week increases awareness
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the university’s second annual Security Week and its campus safety events.
- The News-Letter reported that Security Week was sponsored by the security team and the Student Government Association, after Lt. Mark E. Long said the event was suggested by the SGA to promote crime prevention and personal safety.
- The paper reported that the week included a Beer Goggles Obstacle Course, a Baltimore Police Department command post, Segway rides, a trivia show, a scavenger hunt and free CPR training; Katrina Rios said the CPR class helped her feel prepared to help someone.
- The article adds that students also won opportunities to tour the Command Center in Shriver Hall.
- The reporter writes that at least 175 people had joined the Crime Watch Program and more than 300 had attended events by Tuesday.
- According to the article, the program gives participants an identification card number to use when calling 911, and security also provides safety bulletins and other resources.
- The paper reported that, despite a recent armed robbery at Subway, Long said Campus Safety and Security had seen no significant increase in crime and was working with Baltimore Police to reduce crime in Charles Village.
