Interim Study Report
Interim Study on Approaches to Improving Public Safety on and around Johns Hopkins University Campuses
Report to the Maryland General Assembly on HB 1803
(from the 2018 Legislative Session)
December 21, 2018
This report contains the results of the interim study that Johns Hopkins undertook in response to the Maryland House Judiciary Committee’s request to explore approaches to improving public safety on and around our university campuses. We were specifically asked to seek input from stakeholders, conduct research on public safety operations in academic settings, and identify the characteristics of a best-in-class security structure for a university and its immediate surroundings. The report demonstrates our efforts to follow up on these requests.
