Public Safety responds more quickly to Blue Light tests
Public Safety responded faster to the Women's Initiative's Blue Light tests this fall than it did last spring, Women's Initiative Director Sarah Mashburn announced to the General Assembly Sunday. All of Public Safety's response times were under two minutes in tests conducted Nov. 19 and Nov. 30. In tests last spring, Public Safety took up to eight minutes to appear on the scene. "I think after both the [Blue Light testing] walks, it's clear that Public Safety is making a commitment to make our campus safer, and they evaluated the results from last year so they could respond better," Mashburn said. Response time was longest at two minutes at the red phone in Mary Graydon Center. The shortest response time was 55 seconds at the Blue Light in the Woods-Brown Amphitheatre.
