For those that do not know, Paul Leahey has been fired from the Campus Security office. The official reason for his termination was "writing substandard incident reports". Paul's termination has led to some serious questioning of which campus security officers have been fired or chose to quit, and which ones have been hired. We are losing well-qualified, personable officers and retaining those with more militant-like qualities. The environment within the campus security office is making good people want to leave. There is a high turnover rate within the office which further distances the relationship between students and campus security officers. Students are beginning to see campus security officers as more of a threat than a resource. This is a major concern for Rollins and it must change.
I, Blake Pierce, have already gathered many signatures at the Cornell Campus Center on Tuesday, April 17th, to show student support for a serious review of the management of the campus security department such that we are retaining well-qualified and personable officers, and that the climate of the department must shift away from its militant culture. If you did not sign your name on paper at the campus center, sign this petition to show your support for this movement AND to consider the rehiring of Paul T. Leahey at Rollins College.
I have been meeting with various student leaders this week to discuss the systemic concerns regarding the campus security department. The feedback provided by the community confirms that a transition toward a less militant culture remains a top priority for everyone involved.

The director of campus security, Ken Miller, goes against the college's own criteria to conduct illegal searches of rooms and possessions, violating rights to privacy and hesitating not a whit to have students arrested. "We get so many students from {Rollins,}" said a local attorney's office. Is this really where you want to go to school?

KEN MILLER NEEDS TO GO. The whole department is a joke right now and they think they are the FBI or something.

Ridiculous that they fired someone over report writing when the actual security on campus is getting worse. Fix the priorities.

Paul was actually cool and treated us like humans. Everyone else is just trying to find reasons to write people up. Bring him back.
