I He ' s accountable for safety From my perspective, any public safety ser- vice organization should be held accountable for what they do to the group they serve, D. Jo- seph Griffin, Director of Public Safety at North- eastern said. Since coming to the university in 1974, Grif- fin ' s goal has been to reorganize the public safe- ty division ' s policies. We ' ve had a continuous series in the dormi- tories where the officers go out and meet with students, rather than just me, he said. The most satisfaction comes from the com- ments that I get from the faculty, staff, and stu- dents. In terms of the police programs, that is, Griffin said. When Griffin arrived at Northeastern, an out- side consulting firm had been hired to study the security program. The study found two factions existing within the department, according to Griffin. One of the factions was the older officers; the other, younger more motivated officers. Griffin decided that some changes were in or- der. The initial changes were made when I came in and studied the program. I found that the group had not really kept pace. They were not hired to, I guess. At that time it was not really important for them to listen to the needs of the students, he said, addina thev had been hired mainly for security. One of the things I did was to hire younger, better educated officers. I found that the educa- tional level of the previous officers was extremely low, he said. Griffin said he found the younger officers bet- ter equipped to deal with the needs of the cam- pus community. Many of the newly - hired officers attended Northeastern and knew the workings of the uni- versity and the student ' s attitudes, according to Griffin. They were better able to relate and could empathize with the problems of going through a large institution. They were not that far removed themselves, he said . Griffin said the previous administration had permitted the officers to ride in police vehicles too often. This made police visibility lower and the campus crime rate higher, according to Grif- fin. We reduced the level of street crime. When I came here I think there were three or four mug- gings a week, he said. Griffin said the increased visibility of the offi- cers led to the decrease of crime. You can say it ' s psychological, but that ' s what it is all about, he said.
