Message from the Chief Safety Officer/Executive Director & Chief of Police/Director:
Chief Bridge and I would like to welcome you to Utah Tech University. UT is recognized as one of the safest university campuses in the nation. We are honored to serve you with a transformative and elevated University Safety and Risk Management Department. Our efforts require going beyond historical public safety, EHS and risk management practices. Our unified departments consist of Enterprise Risk & Emergency Management, University Police, Fire Marshal’s Office, Parking Services, Health & Safety. We are committed to increasing customer service, accessibility, engagement and strengthening professional standards. We are confident that our continued dedication to demonstrate innovation will help serve as a best practice model.
We are passionate about safety and teamwork. We look forward to leading with professionalism and integrity. After more than a combined 45 years in public safety, we know that the future of university safety depends on listening and collaborating with the UT community. We must be open to doing our work differently and holding ourselves accountable.
We are dedicated to earning the UT community’s trust, and partnering with you to create a welcoming and safe campus. With the changes we are implementing, University Safety operations are becoming part of a synergistic, transparent and strategic effort that allows us to work together to build an environment where everyone can feel safe, be successful and achieve their goals.
Thanks,
Josh Thayn & Ron Bridge
