The Department of Public Safety (DPS), in collaboration with the Student Association, will host a series of student focus groups regarding DPS.

“I invite our students to share their feedback on our department and recommended changes to enhance their experiences with our staff,” says Chief Bobby Maldonado. “We will review and consider all of the recommendations that are formulated from these student focus groups.”

The focus groups will be facilitated by , a local nonprofit, via Zoom. Each focus group will have a maximum of 15 students, including a student note taker from the Student Association, and will each run for one hour.
