The event took place at the Campus Safety Plaza starting at 8:30 a.m. with light refreshments before the official award ceremony kicked off at 9 am.<\/p>\n<p>     Director of Campus Safety Chief William Tillard introduced the DSC Police Academy Color Guard as they posted the colors at the beginning of the ceremony. <\/p>\n<p>   \u201cHopefully they will be out patrolling our streets and partnering with us for better community service,\u201d said Tillard. <\/p>\n<p>     Student Government Association President Olivia Stuart also took the time to give a speech praising campus safety staff. <\/p>\n<p>     \u201cWhether it\u2019s holding an exercise to simulate an active threat or responding timely to an actual dangerous situation, we want our students to be knowledgeable and aware about what campus safety can do to assist and protect,\u201d said Stuart.<\/p>\n<p>     Over 19 students, faculty, and campus safety officers were recognized and honored with wall of fame awards for helping to make the campus a safer place by responding to situations, following the \u201cSee something, say something\u201d policy of Campus Safety. <\/p>\n<p>     Following the award ceremony, students and staff attending the ceremony were allowed to meet with members of the police department at their static display.<\/p>\n<p>     \u201cIt is a big plus for us to have our employees and our students to be able to meet and greet with police officers on a more personal level, one on one, so they understand how they do things and so we can become their partner better by having events like this, standing shoulder to shoulder,\u201d said Tillard.<\/p>\n<p>     Officer Darren Santiago of DBPD K9-3 unit, along with his K9 partner Zeno, a 5-year-old German shepherd were a part of the display. Zeno specializes in narcotics and apprehension, but is well socialized and was more than happy to greet students and enjoy some well-deserved petting and playtime. According to Santiago, the police department currently has six K9s. <\/p>\n<p>     \u201cThe dogs live at home with us,\u201d said Santiago. \u201cSometimes we spend more time with them than we do our own families.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4353\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4353\" style=\"width: 530px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daytonastateinmotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Campus-Safety-Day-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Students gather around Officer Darren Santiago to pet his K9 partner, a 5-year-old German Shepard.\" width=\"530\" height=\"354\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daytonastateinmotion.com\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Campus-Safety-Day-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.daytonastateinmotion.com\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Campus-Safety-Day-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.daytonastateinmotion.com\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Campus-Safety-Day-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.daytonastateinmotion.com\/oldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Campus-Safety-Day-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4353\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students gather around Officer Darren Santiago to pet his K9 partner, a 5-year-old German Shepard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>     Campus Safety Awareness Day was started 10 years ago, shortly after the tragic Virginia Tech shooting. \u201cWe thought that we should capture the opportunity to make us better at what we do and maybe have one less tragedy, and many colleges do the same thing. They make it more of an awareness day,\u201d said Tillard.<\/p>\n<p>     \u201cEveryone needs to be involved, see something, say something. As a team, as a college community, we can provide the highest level of campus safety and I think we do that.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>     The Wall of Fame program recognizes students and college employees who have demonstrated exemplary behavior during a campus safety-related matter.
