Duty Team Liaison Program

Community Policing | OfficeWatch | Duty Team Liaison Program | Cultural Center Liaison Program | Rape Aggression Defense

Beginning in the Fall of 1996, the Department of Public Safety and Residential Life started the Duty Team Liaison Program. Typically, a Residential Life duty team is responsible for quality of life issues within a residence hall. A Tufts University Police Officer has been assigned to each of the ten duty teams to act as a liaison between Residential Life and Public Safety.

The purpose of the liaison program is to:

• Increase training and communication about safety issues specific to individual halls.
• Develop "consulting" relationships through which we can work on student issues in the halls.
• Increase our effectiveness in difficult and emergency situations by enhancing our ability to work as a team.
• Increase safety and security awareness and programming in the halls.

The Tufts University Police Department has implemented liaison programs on both the Medford/Somerville campus and the Boston campus.
