The Public Safety officers at Skyline want students to feel safer on campus by providing us with resources we need to do so.
Chief Public Safety Officer Robert Dean is the force on this campus that wants to make students and faculty feel safer. Some ways he wants to do so is by changing camera angles, foot patrol, and ongoing camera observation. Although, we do have a controlled campus, it’s still possible to make it better.
“Call us not just if they think something is not right, but also if they want an escort to their car if they are in a night class,” said Dean “or they need assistance doing something, call us, that’s what we’re here for.”
Dean made it clear that he and his officers are here to help. With the rise in foot patrol, there is high potential in doing so. The officers are here for us. This campus has had a few mishaps already this semester, and the public safety officers want to do everything in their power to prevent any more incidents.
The public safety officers work in collaboration with the San Bruno Police, which in Skyline’s case is a good team. Coverage of protection for student and faculty’s safety seems to be a round the clock job. The officers are on duty from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m., but Dean reassures us that “If you call the number you are always going to get an officer.” Another comforting aspect from our safety team.
Not only are they here in circumstances of safety, but if we need a helping hand.
“If it’s something that is of a technical nature, we could facilitate getting a tow truck up here, or you know, whatever it is they need.” Dean said.
He wants us to feel safe and secure on campus and is doing what he feels he needs to do to ensure that. The fact that Dean wants to help in ways other than pure safety says a lot about the public safety officers.
“We’re here as a service for you,” Dean said.
The dedication of Dean and his team can only help this school in feeling safe.
