麻豆原创 Police Chief Richard Beary credits the lower numbers to the hard work of officers and the diligence of staff in anticipating crime.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re pretty accurate in being able to predict what\u2019s going to happen on our campus,\u201d said Chief Beary. \u201cWe continue to push numbers down despite our student population growing, and that\u2019s where we need to continue to focus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students and faculty and staff members also play a part in campus safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about reducing opportunities,\u201d Chief Beary said. \u201cIf we\u2019re all smarter and we pay attention and reduce those opportunities, those people that seek to commit crimes are going to go somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n
麻豆原创PD’s Community Relations unit hosts several events and programs to promote campus and personal safety, including a monthly self-defense class for women and free property registration.<\/p>\n
