Determined to keep Spartanburg’s seven college campuses as safe as possible, College Town institutions joined forces with the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office for a half-day program on June 20, bringing together representatives from campus security, facilities, and communications for training and collaboration.
The program, held at Sherman College of Chiropractic, included active shooter training, public relations pointers for working with the media, round table discussions and plenty of time for cross-campus relationship building.
“Our goal today was to meet, train, share common practices, and identify and fix any breaks or lapses we collectively may have regarding campus safety,” said Sherman College Director of Facilities and Campus Security Patrick Lausier, who organized the summit. “Our ultimate goal is to keep our people safe.”
The colleges plan to continue this collaborative effort in the coming months and wishes to thank Master Deputy Darren Dukes and Lieutenant Kevin Bobo of the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Department for sharing their time and expertise.
College Town is comprised of Converse College, Sherman College of Chiropractic, Spartanburg Community College, Spartanburg Methodist College, USC Upstate, VCOM and Wofford College.
