The California Crime Prevention Officers’ Association has again recognized BILL LARSON, who is responsible for the Department of Public Safety’s crime prevention and risk management efforts.
Larson won the Practitioner of the Year Award for Region 11 in 2008-09, which includes law enforcement agencies from San Francisco to Monterey. He now has won the same award for all regions of Northern California in 2009-10, according to Stanford Police Lt. RICHARD CINFIO.
In his nomination letter, Cinfio said that Larson, who has been working at Stanford for nine years, “embraces the unique challenges of a campus environment and has played an instrumental role in developing innovative crime prevention programs through a combination of passion, dedication and persistence.”
Cinfio specifically applauded Larson’s efforts as the department public information officer, construction liaison and pedestrian zone safety adviser, and credited his oversight and management of the university’s 911 Emergency Tower Program.
Cinfio noted that Stanford has seen a reduction in reported vehicle and structural burglaries. Although there are many factors that led to the decline, he pointed specifically to Larson’s crime prevention programs.
