UT Houston Police Chief: Information Sharing Critical to Healthcare Violence Prevention


Listen Later

At the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and UT Health Science Center, all incidents are shared with and monitored by the police department. Threats are also shared with other campus leaders to ensure everyone -- at all times -- has a clear picture of the campus threat landscape.

In this interview, Chief William Adcox shares why information sharing is essential to mitigating healthcare violence and why his police department does not have an arrest model (12:47).

Adcox also shares how switching to a Combined Protection Model (1:46) and creating a Shared Purpose Council (6:06) resulted in improved performance and outcomes for both the organizations he serves and the surrounding community.
