Developing strategic plans and security master plans are important factors in maintaining organizational momentum and staying on the right course – no matter the distractions the day-to-day operations bring. Unfortunately, time to develop and ensure compliance with these documents is often the most difficult part of the process. Let our consultants work with you to develop these and ensure they align with the institution’s overall strategic plan and the unique characteristics of your own police, security, or safety organization.  Many universities struggle with legacy systems, individual departments or units “doing their own thing” and security measures that are “value engineered” out of new construction. Let our consultants develop your Security Master Plan to help these areas.

Our consultants’ backgrounds include military service, law enforcement, emergency management, and security across public entities and private corporations. Led by Jason Goodrich, Certified Protection Professional, and a former police chief with over 20 years in US campus and medical center law enforcement, Jason draws from the considerable talent of public safety executives around the globe to leverage their knowledge and experience to help you solve your organization’s unique challenges. Whether you’re a higher education client, private corporation, or healthcare client, our network can guide you through a variety of needs including regulatory challenges, technology implementations, organization development strategies, emergency management, and risk assessment.

Transforming to a 21st Century Public Safety Model

Re-envisioning safety is a holistic approach to an area that was traditionally viewed as a stand alone entity with ancillary impact on the totality of the organization. The procedures of Public Safety have had wide-ranging effects throughout many aspects of the organization, and thus engagement of members from across the organization is necessary to achieve a cultural impact. Creating an open environment where the community is both protected and welcomed is a challenge.

Fundamentally, Public Safety is about service.

The values of an organization are reflected through that service, so the question is – are the needs of the community being met through the service provided? What values are truly being reflected by the institution? To help institutions address overall safety and make a meaningful impact with their Public Safety team and resources, CriticalArc can provide consultative services in implementing this process.  We provide parameters we have seen be successful on campuses in these areas and the specific implementation steps we would recommend to achieve success.

Our Blueprint for Campus Safety

We developed parameters around four pillars we believe encapsulate the 21st Century Public Safety model: 
  • Safety Everywhere
  • Operational Insights
  • Coordination and Response
  • Unified Solution
We provide specific, actionable steps for achieving the recommended parameters to create an accepted culture of campus safety. Our team can provide subject matter experts to assist your staff in leading this transformation.
