Congress is considering a bill that would create a National Center on Campus Public Safety , which would be responsible for training schools in public safety techniques.
The bill was introduced Sept. 8 by Rep. Bobby Scott, D-VA. Scott stressed it wouldnâ??t be a regulatory center, and schools could choose whether they want to participate.
Susan Riseling , associate vice-chancellor and chief of police at the University of Wisconsin, was a member of the summit and said she was pleased to see the center was on the table.
Even though it took almost four years for the recommendation to be brought before Congress, Riseling said the timeframe wasnâ??t a problem.
