The 2022 School Safety, Security and Trauma Informed Practices Summit, hosted by Grand Canyon University, wrapped up three days of presentations Tuesday.
GCU President Brian Mueller welcomed guests with a short talk on the University’s efforts to end the cycle of poverty in west Phoenix, and GCU Director of Public Safety Michael Caputo was part of a panel discussion that included Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone. Caputo addressed GCU's safety practices, which include having 26 sworn officers and, unlike many universities, a closed campus.
The early morning session concluded with a keynote address by Mark Sullivan, Director of the U.S. Secret Service from 2006 to 2013.
