If an incident of crime occurs in or near a house, the HUPD sergeant in charge of that house may also hold a session addressing the crime, Riley says.

According to McCarthy, the Rape Aggression Defense Program (RAD) will also move from house to house on a rotating basis in order to increase the accessibility of the program to students.

The sergeants say they are excited about their unit assignments and the prospect of increased interaction with students.

"I'm looking forward to [the implementation of the plan] because I think it can help tremendously with [HUPD] relations with students and faculty," McCarthy says.

In addition, Riley is planning to send HUPD sergeants and officers to the Crime Prevention Institute in Kentucky.

Presently the HUPD only has only one certified crime prevention officer.

"I did not want one person responsible for crime prevention [on campus]," Riley says.

Riley says the certified sergeants and officers will be able to assess such safety conditions as campus lighting and will be able to address student safety concerns as well.

In March, Riley implemented a modified policing plan that Johnson had been considering.

He opened a police substation in the basement of Weld Hall, staffed 24 hours a day, to enable students to have more direct contact with officers.

Currently the substation is mainly staffed by security guards, although HUPD officers spend time there as well, Riley says.

And the HUPD is looking for more office space in the Yard, Riley says.

Riley is also working with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to create police substations at the Quad and River houses.

According to Riley, the location of the substations is important because the HUPD wants to be accessible, but not intrusive.
