Description
ABSTRACT
This product dissertation analyzes current campus safety technology use and creates a
campus safety product development guide aiding campus police to drive improved incident
response and campus safety. Detailed product requirements, based on law enforcement use
cases and user interface layouts (a.k.a., wireframes), are modeled, leading to a high-level
software development plan. The product is based on wireless network location service
technology, improving campus police departments’ incident response, person of interest and
witness identification, potential victim protection, and contact tracing. Historical background
related to technology-based campus safety is provided. Topical literature is reviewed to provide
a perspective of current practices and legislation for campus safety implementation,
compliance, and effectiveness. Recommendations and improvements, as extrapolated from
literature, give insight into this and future direction. Conclusions are drawn with data to
support the need for change to improve state of campus safety assurance.
