Whether your campus has its own police department or works collaboratively with one, it is important to acknowledge that officers from campus safety and police organizations face unpredictable dangers and challenges in order to protect lives, secure the safety of citizens, and defend civil liberties. These men and women embrace those challenges so they can make a profound difference in the quality of life for their community members. Therefore, policing is one of the more noble and selfless professions. Cynicism and perpetual negativity can cause some to lose sight of why they chose policing as their profession.
The Franklin Covey Law Enforcement Services Team developed The Nobility of Policing Suite that provides information and training to law enforcement professionals to "reignite the passion of policing and become more fully engaged in the work." Available for download, The Nobility of Policing: Guardians of Democracy is a free e-book that "takes a look into the lives of law enforcement professionals-the challenges, the nobility, and the contribution of America's guardians." A short video based on the book is also available to view. The book and video are appropriate for all audiences and give insight into the police profession, the tribulations police officers face, and the impact these men and women have on their communities.
The Nobility of Policing Leadership Training is a 4-hour workshop that is available to police organizations through a variety of delivery methods, to include train the trainer. At the training, participants are "given the tools to combat cynicism that too often occurs, recognize the challenges and costs of the job and to positively overcome negative factors." For more information, visit their
training page or contact the Franklin Covey Law Enforcement Services Team.

Follow Up Summit White Paper Released on Clery and Title IX Compliance Issues
In January 2015, campus officials came together for a second time to discuss compliance issues around Title IX and other related legislation including the Clery Act and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). This summit, held at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, was a follow up to the first gathering at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in August 2014. The results of the Georgia Tech summit have been written, finalized and are now being released as a formal white paper, Practitioners' Discussion of Implementing Clery/Title IX: Report on the Summit II (PDF), by Georgia Tech Police Department, the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA), the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the National Center for Campus Public Safety (NCCPS).
The first two-day summit in Wisconsin focused on developing a comprehensive list of issues and concerns related to the Clery Act and Title IX, as well as identifying an initial list of promising practices. The Georgia Tech summit used this initial list of promising practices as a starting point and also explored valuable services to victims of sexual violence on campuses. As is stated in the Executive Summary, "None of these suggestions were meant as the final solutions to complicated issues but rather as starting points to form a core Title IX public safety compliance system on the respective campuses." Furthermore, it is noted that this white paper is not meant to be a final document in the discussion about challenges and solutions to Clery and Title XI compliance but rather "a place to start exchanging ideas with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights on a plan to work together in constructive ways to meet the needs of victims and hold adjudicated students more accountable."
