The Grand Valley Police Department has created a new safety video to
help the campus community respond to urgent situations.
Brandon DeHaan, director of public safety and chief of police, said
the video helps illustrate the Run/Hide/Fight model, offering Lakers
options to consider and the ability to create a plan if ever
confronted with violence.
“Having this knowledge builds confidence with members of our
community in their ability to immediately recognize danger and respond
by implementing their plan of action without hesitation,” said DeHaan.
Preparing for an emergency before one occurs makes all the difference
in helping to protect yourself and others, DeHaan said.
Participants spent 10 weeks in an accelerator program offered by the DeVos Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, in partnership with GVSU's Northern Michigan Region.
