The University of Montana helps keeps crime low with a sophisticated GPS
system that spans the entire 220-acre campus. GPS, of course, stands for
Grizzly Personal Safety, named after the school’s mascot, and is the
school’s campus escort program. (No, not in that way.) Escorts zip around
in electric golf carts, whisking students across campus to their dorms.
“We are also geographically in a pretty good position,” says Jim Lemcke,
director of the Office of Public Safety. “We’re not in a big city with a
lot of crime.” Most of the incidents reported were non-violent, according
to the data reported by the school to the U.S. Department of Education.
