| Guardianship Culture Defined | |
|---|---|
| ✓ | A "guardian" is defined as a "defender, protector, or keeper" - one who advocates for another. |
| ✓ | A guardianship culture is one in which campus police and safety professionals strive to defend the community through procedural justice, rather than focusing primary efforts to control safety through enforcement. |
| ✓ | A culture that values all members of the community and views them as safety partners. |
