COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Columbia bar has partnered with a national organization to help its staff members recognize unsafe behavior.
Fieldhouse/Willie's on Broadway -- a popular spot for college students in the heart of downtown -- is hosting bystander intervention training. The training is being led by Haleigh Harrold, the executive director of SAFE Bar Network. SAFE Bar Network is a national nonprofit focused on partnering with bars and other venues to increase safety.
The SAFE Bar Network training focuses on teaching employees of bars and other places the skills to notice unsafe behavior and to intervene. As a result of the training, 97% of participants know at least one way they will prevent harm and increase the safety of patrons, the organization says.
The University of Missouri Police Department released a statement last September warning the public to be aware of predatory drugs being added to drinks. At the time, reports of students having their drinks spiked were on the rise quickly.
Included in the statement are resources for those who were victims of date rape. These resources include The Office for Civil Rights & Title IX and the RSVP Center at the University of Missouri as well as True North Columbia, a victim shelter.
According to the Office for Civil Rights & Title IX from 2020-2021, there were 121 reported cases of sexual exploitation, misconduct and assault in the MU community.
