Be part of the solution.
That’s the main tenet of #HawkeyeSafe, a new public-awareness campaign that encourages students to play an active role in campus safety by taking advantage of tools offered by the University of Iowa Department of Public Safety.
“The idea is to inspire the campus community to take preventative measures to enhance their personal safety while also encouraging students to invest time in looking out for one another,” says Scott Beckner, assistant vice president and director of the UI Department of Public Safety. “We know that safety and preparedness have to be a community effort, and we are hoping #HawkeyeSafe will help spread the word about the services we offer and continue to open the line of communication between police and students.”
Using the hashtag #HawkeyeSafe, the department plans to share information about its safety tools throughout the semester. The hashtag also will be used to spread the word about community events planned by the department during which students will have a chance to have conversations and build relationships with officers while participating in activities they both enjoy. It is another layer of the department’s community-policing philosophy introduced last fall.
