41 Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) offers many programs designed to inform students and employees about campus security procedures and practices. A common theme of all awareness and crime prevention programs is to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own safety and for the safety of others on campus. Crime prevention programs on personal safety and security are sponsored by various campus organizations throughout the year. The programs include general crime prevention and security awareness programs, such as safety education forums, programs, and discussions about topics such as alcohol abuse, dating violence, self-defense, fire safety, emergency response and evacuation procedures, sexual assault prevention, and theft prevention. The UPD, Division of Student Success, Institutional Compliance (Title IX), Environmental Health and Safety, and Housing and Residence Life staff, participate in forums, town hall meetings, and programs campus wide to explain University security, public safety, and fire safety measures and procedures at TAMIU with all incoming students and their parents from June?August during summer orientation (Dusty Camp). Throughout the academic year, these departments conduct programs on information regarding alcohol education, fire safety, personal safety, and crime prevention for the TAMIU community. New employee orientation includes the distribution of crime prevention and fire safety materials to all new employees on a bi-weekly basis. Members of our crime prevention group conducted over 90 crime prevention and general security and safety awareness presentations for students and employees of the University. During these presentations, information is provided on topics such as crime prevention tips, personal safety tips, recognizing unhealthy situations/behaviors, statistics on crime at TAMIU, fire safety, and campus security procedures and practices. UPD organizes and sets up crime prevention and education display tables at various locations throughout the year. This provides an opportunity for the staff to disseminate safety-related information, as well as to answer individual questions. All programs, unless group specific as indicated, are open to all members of the University community and are promoted via various communication methods, including but not limited to, the University website, social media, flyers, and Uconnect.
