Cam­pus Safety Up­date: 2019.4

MISHAWAKA—This past week there was a re­port of stolen prop­erty from Suf­fi­cient Grounds cof­fee shop. A stu­dent left a per­sonal item un­at­tended and the item was taken. There were also re­ports of prop­erty dam­age in Oak­wood, but the claim was later up­dated as a re­port of van­dal­ism as the in­ves­ti­ga­tion proved the dam­age to be in­ten­tional. There were more re­ports of sus­pi­cious peo­ple roam­ing cam­pus and at­tempt­ing to en­ter ve­hi­cles, once spot­ted they fled cam­pus.

 On March 23^rd in Weikam­p’s park­ing lot, a car ac­ci­dent oc­curred. The car was backed up into a light pole. For­tu­nately, there were no re­ports of in­juries. 

A cam­pus pol­icy vi­o­la­tion also took place last week, but there has been no fur­ther com­ment as to specifics of the event. 

Paul Neel, Di­rec­tor of Cam­pus Safety, has a few words of ad­vice for stu­dents: 

“Al­ways be aware of your sur­round­ings. It is easy to get caught up in our own lit­tle world with phones and head­phones. We can miss ve­hi­cles, peo­ple, or other things that can pose a threat to us. If you are go­ing for a walk, ride, or run, let some­one know where you plan to go and when you ex­pect to re­turn. Never give any­one you do not know ac­cess to your  res­i­dence hall.”
