Team members engaging with the community at a Safety Tabling Event
Safety in the City presentations educate community members on best practices that include, but are not limited to, protection of personal property, transportation safety, identity theft protection, internet safety, criminal schemes, and general tips on staying safe in New York City. These 30-minute sessions allow for dialogue between the presenter and participants to answer all safety-related questions.

De-Escalation Training is a 30-45 minute session aimed at helping community members understand how they can best diffuse a potentially unsafe or difficult situation, including de-escalating external disruptors, guests or visitors; navigating medical emergencies and unsolicited photographers or media; and learning when to call 911 vs. Campus Safety.
