Campus safety event at CCRI tomorrow

In the wake of the fatal shootings at Virginia Technical Institute and other acts of violence on college and university campuses, the Community College of Rhode Island is hosting a campus safety forum.

Sponsored by the U.S. Attorney’s Anti-terrorism Advisory Council, the state police and the state Emergency Management Agency, the forum will focus on ways to prevent, detect and deter shooting incidents on campus.

Public safety and health officials, and administrators from colleges and universities in Rhode Island are expected to attend.

The Virginia Tech Review Panel will present its findings after studying the fatal April shooting on that campus that left 34 people, including the gunman, dead.

United States Attorney Robert Clark Corrente, Rhode Island State Police Superintendent Brendan Doherty, and Robert Warren, the executive director of RIEMA, are scheduled to speak at the forum tomorrow at 8:45 a.m. on the College’s Knight Campus, room 4090
