Law enforcement administrators meet for campus training

MID-MICHIGAN (WJRT) -- (10/09/09)--When you send your kids off to college, you trust the people there are doing all they can to keep them safe.

Friday dozens of campus law enforcement administrators from around the state met in Flint for training.

The focus was emergency management. It's especially important to those in charge at the University of Michigan-Flint because of the new dorms on campus.

U of M-Flint Public Safety Director Chalmers Sanders says when the dorms opened, his staff grew, too.

"We had two additional police officers, added some supervisor, patrol people in the student guard population," he said.

Sanders says even with the addition of the dorms, there's been no major incidents on campus.

"But it's like anything. You have to prepare for it and be ready for it," said Ronald Trepkowski.

So the Michigan Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators gathered to talk about how to better prepare for an emergency management situation.

A timely topic of discussion Friday was h1n1 flu and how campuses are handling it, too.
