10TV recently covered Ohio State's most recent efforts to ensure student safety. The university offers students free window or door locks that set an alarm if the window or door is opened, as well as a smart timer.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct a nationwide emergency alert test on October 4. During this time, wireless emergency alerts (WEA) compatible cell phones will receive a test message. This is not a Buckeye Alert, but many students, faculty and staff will receive the test message.
As featured by WSYX, OSUPD is hiring more police officers and expanding other safety resources.
"We're trying and we will continue to try to provide safety layers, law enforcement, different cameras, more lighting and adding officers," said Chief Kimberly Spears-McNatt.
