Committee links
DPS, community
The Public Safety Advisory
Group, which includes six
student-group members,
acts as a liaison to DPS
By Jared Paben
News Reporter
Tom Hicks, interim director of the
Department of Public Safety, said he
feels strongly about maintaining open
lines of communication between his de
partment and the campus community.
So when a group called the Public Safety
Advisory Group was formed this year to
suit that very purpose; he was overjoyed.
The group comprises 11 voting
members from campus, and 11 to 12
ex officio members, whose role is strict
ly to inform the voting members about
issues. I licks said the group would re
frain from discussing specific incidents
involving DPS, and would only vote on
what recommendations to give.
"1 see two primary purposes (for the
group)," he said. "The first is to give the
campus community a voice in public
safety issues, and the second is to hope
fully improve or enhance communica
tion between the Department of Public
Safety and the rest of the campus.
"(The committee focuses) more
with an understanding of looking at
our policies and procedures that we
use, and whether there is any advice
that the committee would have on
changing those policies."
ASUO Legislative Associate Gabe
Kjos, a voting member of the group,
agreed with Hicks.
"The main focus is to provide ideas
on policies that need attention or im
provement and relate to public safety
on campus," Kjos said.
Jackie Reed, a University graduate
and former member of the Greek Life
Office, has worked for DPS for the
past four years. She said she was asked
to serve as a voting member through
the summer because she knows the
ins and outs of the department.
Reed said that because DPS has the
potential to get a bad reputation, it's
important to have a group that allows
for public feedback.
"It has a lot of potential for what it
can be," she said. "It's kind of a vision
right now. It can go wherever the
board wants it to go."
Both Hicks and Reed agreed that
one of the strengths of the group is its
large student representation. Six of the
eleven voting members are from stu
dent groups, and three of those are
from ASUO.
The group last met Sept. 19 to dis
cuss both its own mission and the re
cently expanded DPS powers to write
municipal citations.
