Bree Adams – Features editor. Students will no longer be able to refer to Linfield College’s Campus Safety Department as “campo.” The department has been renamed the Linfield College Community Public Safety & Security Department, or Linfield College CPS.
This change was brought about with the hiring of new Director of Security Bob Cepeda last spring.
“The title ‘Campus Safety’
was not correct,” Cepeda said.
Along with the name change comes a new direction in the department’s focus.
“We do more than just securing campus and unlocking buildings,” Cepeda said.
Cepeda and LCCPS will strive to do proactive rather than defensive work in order to maintain the safety of Linfield’s McMinnville and Portland campuses.
“There needs to be more inclusiveness in the community,” Cepeda said. “Our goal is more open lines of communication and transparency.”
