TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 A new truck has been spotted driving around campus, leaving some to wonder, what is an emergency manager? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trey Ingram serves as Troy University’s Emergency Manager, a position introduced in 2025 when TUPD decided the university would benefit from the addition of the role. Ingram has become a common sight around campus, though his impact goes far beyond tire tracks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You’ll see me riding around in my truck, responding to calls as they happen,\u201d Ingram said. \u201cI\u2019m not much of an office-dweller.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like to get out and about, more times you’ll find me riding around than you would me sitting in my office.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingram said the job covers everything from inclement weather to suspicious activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My primary responsibilty is to help ensure troy university is prepared to prevent respond and recover from any emergency that might happen, a major focus of my work is making emergency preparedness practical and understandable,” Ingram said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ingram, the job is about more than just the paperwork. The connection with students, he said, is what he values most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Emergency management is not just about responding when something goes wrong, it’s about building a safer, more resilient campus,\u201d Ingram said. \u201cThat’s through preparation, education and teamwork.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want students to feel comfortable asking me questions, sharing concerns. I’m here to serve them. That door is always open, [they] can always come talk to me.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Troy University Police Department<\/a> (TUPD) and Ingram said they are constantly working to make campus a safe and comfortable place for students. Ingram says what he enjoys most about his job is working with a team and building partnerships to ensure safety campus-wide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m just proud to be back here at Troy University and I’m committed to doing everything I can to help make it a safe place for us to learn, work, and enjoy the college experience.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingram said his goal is to continue to strengthen the Emergency Management Program at Troy, and that TUPD is always looking for ways to improve. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
