The Grad Student Association and the Biomedical Scholars Association recently had a conversation with the Vice President of Public Safety Dr. Branville Bard and the Senior Advisor of Public Safety Rodney Hill regarding updates to the Johns Hopkins Police Department and the recent release of the memorandum of understanding. View the webinar recording here!
As most of you are probably aware, the University announced the finalization of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore Police Department on December 2nd, 2022. This announcement came after three town hall events and an outpouring of polarized feedback from faculty, staff, students, and the Baltimore community. Next steps for the implementation of the Johns Hopkins Police Department include recruitment, training, and deployment of officers over the next year!
The well-being of SOM graduate students is at the forefront of the GSA and BSA’s agenda, and we recognize that these updates may negatively impact the mental health of our students. The GSA and BSA have compiled a preliminary list of questions and concerns here.
