The Herald Citizen in Cooksville, TN, recently reported that the crime rate on the campus of Tennessee Tech University is dropping. TTU Police Chief Gay Shepherd gives the credit to pro-active programs, such as safety awareness programs, and also the campus emergency text message alert system.
"Shepherd said the university's pro-active approach to fighting crime includes the emergency text message alert system which notifies students, employees, and guests of safety concerns or incidents," the article stated.
With an emergency alert system, college and university are always prepared to contact students, faculty, and staff at a moment's notice. And those messages are delivered quickly, allowing recipients to be extra alert and avoid potentially dangerous situations.
When tragedies happen, we always hear that they could have been prevented, if only action would have been taken early. TTU is a great example of a campus taking the proactive approach to prevent crime, and being willing to recognize when students needs to be alerted to danger. AME encourages other organizations and public safety officials to take the proactive approach when it comes to citizen safety.
Contact AME today to find out how easy it is to institute a text message alert system!
