<p>Had a follow up phone call with head of campus security & they continue to follow up on the issues I raised. There will be significant retraining of some people, new procedures, and work on the bike/vehicle video. It will take time to get the helmet campaign going, but he’s working on that as well.</p>
<p>Congratulations on turning something so negative into something so positive!</p>
<p>I am very pleased that they are instituting new procedures so that ANY person knocked to the ground in a collision will be checked out by the EMTs for physical & mental injuries at the scene and there will be follow up the day after with all victims. That is a strong positive and is MUCH better than the policy formerly in place where the officer on the scene made a determination on a “case by case” basis. They do NOT have the medical training to make these types of decisions and may have vested interests in handling things quickly, especially if a fellow officer was involved.</p>
<p>I am also very glad they will be working on the other issues, tho I suspect that the helmet issue will take some time – changing social values & culture is always tougher than many other changes. He says he did try bringing up the subject at a meeting which was largely attended by the greek system who was quite opposed. He promised to try to find a more receptive audience elsewhere on campus.</p>
