In an effort to enhance safety options for college & university communities, many public safety departments are implementing a public safety Ambassador Program in geographic areas immediately surrounding campus property that contains predominantly high density off campus student housing. The primary purpose of the Ambassador Program is to provide high visibility and high proactive engagement with members of the community in the Ambassador Patrol Zone to enhance overall safety. Ambassadors personify the face of these colleges and universities and often are the first point of contact for students, faculty, visitors, and the general public in and around these areas. Modes of transportation during an Ambassador’s patrol include foot, bicycle, and/or vehicle.
