COVID-19 Resources and Information for Campus Public Safety

The Novel Coronavirus has ignited a global pandemic and caused an unprecedented public health and safety crisis. IACLEA stands with campus police and public safety personnel who are on the front lines of prevention and response efforts. The Association applauds all campus police and public safety personnel serving in any capacity. We support your efforts to keep your personnel and community members safe.

IACLEA is producing and sharing information to ensure best practices and up-to-date information is disseminated quickly.  In addition to the resources shared below, IACLEA members can turn to CONNECTIONS to ask questions and gain information from other campus public safety professionals. Furthermore, we encourage you to submit your questions, comments, and concerns around campus public safety response to the COVID-19 pandemic via this link. Your input will help drive the discussion in IACLEA’s upcoming COVID-19 Rapid Response Briefing Calls. Register for an upcoming call here (participation is free but registration is required).
