Description
Summary:When he had the opportunity to move from parking and transportation to leading the strategic security and safety effort on campus, he made a very strategic and important decision to build the structure to be broader than law enforcement. He incorporated all aspects of campus safety and security, says Gerald Robert Harkins, Associate VP, Campus Safety and Security, University of Texas, Austin. A US Army veteran, Harkins retired in 1993 and joined the University of Pittsburgh as the parking enforcement leader. After earning his doctorate in 1998, he moved to Austin and took a similar role. In 2005, a reorganization to create a comprehensive approach to campus security and safety was initiated, and he earned the top job.
