Tampa Bay Business Journal - August 22, 2008

The University of South Florida named Tom Cisco emergency operations manager and created a new Division of Public Safety.

Cisco, former emergency manager for Shelby County in Ohio, will serve as the university’s coordinator in campus crises and organize ways to prevent crises, a release stated.

Bruce Benson was named the assistant vice president of the new Division of Public Safety, which includes the university’s police department, emergency operations and parking enforcement, the release said.

USF also is implementing a coordinated emergency notification system to facilitate distribution of information.
