Temple University announced the appointment of a new public safety position that they hope will increase safety on campus.
Griffin is also an adjunct professor and Temple administrator's say she will bring a mix of law enforcement and educational experience to the position.
"As I believe you will see, she brings a unique blend of education, experience, emotional intelligence, knowledge, skills and abilities needed for this newly elevated and vital role, said Temple's Chief Operating Officer, Ken Kaiser in a statement on Wednesday. Tommy Pham is a sophomore at Temple, and he says the new appointment is necessary after he's seen an increase of violence across campus.
"It’s gotten a little bit messy lately, I have seen too many homeless people on campus and I got asked for money multiple times and when I said no they got attitude and that’s not a good sign, that’s a red flag," said Pham. Since 1999, Griffin has served in several increasingly progressive roles within the Delaware State Police. She currently holds the role of captain of the Troop 6 command. Now, her journey at Temple will begin on August 22.
