NEXT PREVIOUS CSI 21 Aug 2024 Kovsie Football Teams Up with UFS Protection Services to Combat Violent Crimes as a part of their ShowUs initiative In a bold move against violent crimes, KovsieFootball joined forces with UFS Protection Services in 2023 to address the increasing concerns about student safety on campus and across the country. This partnership seeks not only to protect students but also to empower them with the knowledge and tools necessary to stay safe. The primary goal of the collaboration is education. KovsieFootball aims to expose students to the realities of violent crime, helping them understand the risks and equipping them with practical strategies to make informed decisions regarding their safety and well-being. According to KovsieFootball, “Our purpose is to educate students about violent crime so they can make good decisions and protect themselves.” UFS Protection Services shares a similar approach:“We look to educate to mitigate,” explains a spokesperson from the department. “By teaching students about the types of violent crimes that affect them—such as armed robbery, assault, and grievous bodily harm (GBH)—we aim to reduce their chances of becoming victims. We provide critical statistics and insights into the frequency of these crimes, helping students stay aware and vigilant.” Education is a key part of the strategy, with a focus on: · The nature and causes of violent crimes that students may encounter in their environment. · The legal definitions and the justice system’s response to such crimes, giving students a clearer understanding of how the law works and their rights within it. · By raising awareness, the campaign hopes to create a safer campus environment, with students playing an active role in preventing violent incidents and protecting themselves. KovsieFootball and UFS Protection Services believe that sport not only has the power to change lives but also to sustain them. The values of sportsmanship and fair play are seen as essential in promoting peace on campus. “We believe peace is embedded in the values of sport,” says a KovsieFootball representative. “That’s why we encourage student involvement in sports. Through teamwork and fair play, we aim to instill values that contribute to the overall well-being and safety of our campus.” Through this campaign, the university aims to raise awareness about violent crimes and promote fairness, urging society and the legal system to ensure that justice is served. By supporting victims and ensuring their voices are heard, the initiative works to foster reconciliation and healing within the UFS community. The campaign is also committed to offering support to students, UFS families, and friends who have been affected by violent crimes. KovsieFootball and UFS Protection Services stand united in their quest for justice, ensuring victims are well-represented and feel supported in their journey to heal and find peace. “We want to make it clear that justice must prevail over violent crime, and that our campus is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of every student. Our goal is to promote peace and reconciliation throughout the UFS community,” adds UFS Protection Services. With this joint initiative, KovsieFootball and UFS Protection Services continue to prioritize student safety, ensuring that everyone has the resources and support they need to thrive in a secure and peaceful environment.
