• College and university administrators must take into account a number of variables in determining the appropriate staffing levels for their campus public safety function, according to a white paper released by International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA). The report is entitled, "Establishing Appropriate Staffing Levels for Campus Public Safety Departments," by Sue Woolfenden, QPM, Ph.D., and Bill Stevenson, Ph.D., of Strategic Direction, a consulting firm based in the United Kingdom that specializes in police resource allocation. The white paper explores how campus public safety department staffing levels are determined, what agencies are able to achieve with the number of staff available to them, and what challenges they face in this respect. It also examines whether there is the potential to develop a means of determining appropriate staffing levels for campus public safety. Most important to the safety of the students, staff, and faculty at colleges and universities, this report looks at staffing needs as they relate to the execution or maintenance of a community oriented policing mission--a major issue in today's tight economic times where many police chiefs and public safety directors are expressing concern that their resources are already being stretched to the limit.
