As we start the New Year, I want to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of NJ CUPSA. I admire the enthusiasm and hard work of the membership in advancing the mission of Public Safety in our New Jersey Colleges and Universities.

This organization tirelessly works to improve the services provided to all of our communities and makes certain it has a voice in the halls of our legislators when decisions are being made regarding the welfare of our students on New Jersey’s campuses.

In 2010 we will see sweeping changes to the way we report Campus Crime Statistics as well as the institution of the Campus Safety and Security Peer Review Plan. The membership of NJ CUPSA has been individually and collectively instrumental in influencing these changes. In addition, we continue to forge stronger relationships with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners, increasing the communication and working relationships so vital to the success of our mission.

I am proud to be a part of NJ CUPSA. If you are not yet a member, I invite you to become part of this vital organization. The information exchange through our email list serve and monthly meetings keeps you on top of critical changes in the higher education environment. For the members, I thank you for your devotion to campus safety and security. Have a safe and prosperous 2010.

Ed Carney
President
