Cell Phones Give
Students False Sense of Safety
A new study from three professors finds that college
students packing cell phones feel safer than those without and are more
likely to take risky walks at night.
The research reveals that carrying a cell phone can amp up risk-taking,
particularly among women.
"Students seem to feel less vulnerable when they carry a cell phone,
although there's no evidence that they really are," says study
researcher Jack Nasar, a professor of city and regional planning at Ohio
State University. "If anything, they are probably less safe because they
are paying less attention to their surroundings."

Police Asking
For Tougher Security At Florida Malls
Since someone murdered a mother and daughter and left
their bodies outside a Boca Raton, Fla., mall, Coral Springs Police
Chief Duncan Foster repeatedly tried to talk to the owners of Coral
Square Mall about hiring off-duty officers to increase security.
But Foster tells the South Florida Sun-Sentinel newspaper that his
requests went unanswered by mall managers for Simon Property Group,
owner also of the Town Center at Boca Raton, where the bodies were
found.
Now Foster has written the Indianapolis-based owner of the malls, asking
for a sit-down meeting.

NTC Offering
To "Train The Troops" With New Program
"Train The Troops" program is a free program offered
to recently discharged military service personnel to train them for
careers in the low voltage industry.
Charles Aulner, CEO of National Training Center (NTC), explains the
inception of the program: "NTC is dedicated to providing the low voltage
industry with the very best in training and is committed to empowering
individuals and companies to succeed. Many returning service members are
discharged within two months of returning from the battlefield. This
does not provide them with much time to find work in the civilian
sector. We wanted to give back to the U.S. troops that risk their lives
in order to protect the American way of life."

Cisco Moving
Schools Toward Convergence And Modernization
Cisco has reported a change in how K-12 schools,
colleges and universities view emergency preparedness and security
management when designing their campus safety architectures. Seizing a
movement already under way in businesses and government agencies, school
officials increasingly recognize the importance of converging their
physical security tools on their networks and are doing so at an
unprecedented pace.
Campus security has long been a top priority for schools from
kindergarten to higher education. At many schools, however, the physical
and network security infrastructures are disjointed, comprising a
patchwork of separate alarm systems, surveillance cameras, communication
systems and radios that cannot interact with the digital,
network-connected systems more recently put in place.
