The Grand Valley Police Department has created a new safety video to
help the campus community respond to urgent situations.
Brandon DeHaan, director of public safety and chief of police, said
the video helps illustrate the Run/Hide/Fight model, offering Lakers
options to consider and the ability to create a plan if ever
confronted with violence.
“Having this knowledge builds confidence with members of our
community in their ability to immediately recognize danger and respond
by implementing their plan of action without hesitation,” said DeHaan.
Preparing for an emergency before one occurs makes all the difference
in helping to protect yourself and others, DeHaan said.
The vice president for People, Equity, and Culture discusses his initial impressions of GVSU, one hobby and how he plans to bring awareness to the new division.
Through the partnership, people who earned a MIOSHA certificate can earn college credits toward a bachelor's degree in occupational safety and health management.
