Security staff adds professionals
Kendal Rasnake

Three professionals now work
on campus with the Elon College
Security staff.
Chris Shoffner joined Elon's
staff after working with the
Gibsonville Police Department.
Richard Feeney brings 22 years of
experience on the New York City
Police Department with him to
Elon.
The other professional on the
staff is currently serving his
second year. Bob Mayfield,
formerly of the Los Angeles
Police Department's Vice and
Narcotics Division, is supervising
the new security team.
"Collectively, we have more
experience than some small police
departments," said Security Chief
Terry Creech when referring to
himself and the other three
professionals. The total years of
experience for these four staff
members adds up to 42 years.
These new additions to the
staff are part of the Security
Department's move toward a more
professional security staff with
students working as a backup,
Creech said. With security being a
high priority on Elon's campus,
he said that this move would "take
Richard Feeney
students out of the high-risk or
liability" part of working for the
Security Department.
Creech said that he would like
to see the staff at Elon become a
campus police department, which
would include having arrest
powers, instead of being just a
security force. The reason given
for the possible change was that
the Elon College Town Police
Department could not always
respond on time due to other calls
they receive.
Creech said that he has a good
staff this year and has a "good
nucleus of students" to work with

All the effects of the Security
Department's move toward a
professional staff remains to be
seen. After a survey of 300
students, only two said that they
would object to the professionals
carrying a firearm, and no one
objected to the professionals
carrying a nightstick and mace.
A survey dealing with this
issue will be coming out soon,
Creech said.

Elon College Security Department

which will take place November
3-8.
