He oversaw installation of the “blue light” emergency telephones at DU and created the annual “Safe Walk” around campus. He was also instrumental in creating the “Safe Ride” shuttle that provides transportation for people on campus after hours. Mills also oversees campus safety training as well as a Rape Aggression and Defense Class for students, faculty and staff.
