Since 1993, Dawn Tevepaugh has served on the police forces of a number of North Carolina colleges, improving public safety and protecting the campus communities. Currently the chief of police at Durham Technical Community College, she has developed a program that trains campus security officers to respond to active-shooter situations. This involves incident self-care and buddy-assistance training for law enforcement officers and first-response education for building safety captains. Dawn Tevepaugh hopes to extend such training to other campus community members so they can all help each other in the event of a critical event.
