HPU Security to become Department of Public Safety
by HPU MEDIA RELATIONS
Howard Payne University's Board of Trustees
recently approved the university's decision to upgrade
its security force to a Department of Public Safety.
The DPS agency will include at least one com-
missioned police officer, and the current security
personnel will undergo training to become public
safety officers.
Paul Lilly, assistant professor of criminal justice
at HPU and retired police chief with 20 years of ser-
vice, will serve as head of the department.
"The goal of this transition is to provide better
safety and security to the university's buildings,
streets and parking lots," Lilly said. "As a DPS agen-cy, we will be able to take a more proactive stance in
regards to safety and crime prevention."
According to Lilly, the university is working in
conjunction with the Brownwood Police Department.
As public safety officers, HPU's force will share
authority over all public streets that run adjacent to
the university.
"The HPU officers will be able to make traffic
stops and work accidents," Lilly said. "Also, begin-
ning June 1, they will undergo training including
crime prevention, crime scene investigation, domes-
tic violence, emergency and severe weather training
and hazardous material training."
Lilly said that students, faculty, staff and visitors
to the university should begin to notice changes on
campus.
"We plan for the officers to have a much greaterpresence," he said. "There will be a noticeable
increase in visibility. Their vehicles and uniforms
will also change to reflect a more professional look
accustomed to law enforcement officials."
Lilly stressed that, for the time being, only one of
HPU's officers is a commissioned police officer.
"There is a difference between a public safety offi-
cer and a police officer," he said. "But HPU's public
safety officers will be able to play a much more pro-
active, rather than reactive, role on campus."
Lynn Humeniuk, associate professor of sociology
and director of HPU's criminal justice program, calls
the transition a "shot in the arm" for the university.
"A DPS agency will provide a much more profes-
sional and safer environment on campus," she said.
"This is a huge asset to HPU."FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE
