The goal is to ensure a more comprehensive and robust safety and security portfolio for campus.  </p><p> </p><p>President Stanley and MSU Vice President for Public Safety and Chief of Police Marlon Lynch talk about the center and its mission. The center — which will feature a fully integrated security system for access control, intrusion prevention and video security — will be housed within the MSU DPPS building. </p><p> </p><p>Stanley and Lynch also talk about how the East Lansing Police Department and the MSU Department of Police and Public Safety have partnered to form the <a href="https://police.msu.edu/2022/10/24/dpps-elpd-partner-to-form-new-collaborative-policing-team/">Proactive Engagement and Community Enhancement Team</a>, or PEACE, which will focus on stopping criminal activity before it happens, while also providing education and promoting community safety and crime prevention.  </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://go.msu.edu/listen"><em>MSU Today</em></a><em> airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 5 a.m. on WKAR News/Talk and Sundays at 8 p.m. on 760 WJR.
