Title VI for Campus Law Enforcement and Public Safety Leaders
2026-10-14 12:00 - 16:30, 2026-12-01 12:00 - 16:30
D. Stafford & Associates offers a 4-hour interactive class designed specifically for campus law enforcement and public safety leaders who play a critical role in institutional Title VI readiness. This class helps participants understand how public safety functions intersect with civil rights obligations involving race, color, national origin, and shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics.

Campus safety personnel are often among the first institutional employees to receive reports, observe patterns, document incidents, manage protest activity, preserve evidence, and make access-related decisions. This course prepares leaders to recognize when safety incidents may also raise Title VI notice, access, documentation, or response concerns, while maintaining appropriate boundaries between public safety, civil rights, student affairs, Clery, threat assessment, and legal counsel.

Participants will examine the legal and operational framework of Title VI, explore the difference between bias incidents, hate crimes, protest management issues, protected speech, and civil rights access concerns, and apply practical tools to real-world campus scenarios. The class emphasizes that public safety leaders do not need to become Title VI investigators, but they do need systems that ensure the right facts reach the right people at the right time.

This class is recommended for institutions seeking to strengthen cross-functional coordination, improve documentation practices, prepare for protest and bias-related response, and build public safety protocols that support both safety and equal access to educational programs.
