Over the past nine years, the University of Georgia has dedicated $25 million to public safety. Recently, UGA President Jere Morehead announced the latest round of funding for security, which totaled $1.7 million.

Daniel Silk is the Associate Vice President for Public Safety at the University of Georgia. He sat down with WUGA’s Emma Auer to discuss how this investment has been distributed—and how the community has reacted.
