Public safety is not just the responsibility of University Police. We want to encourage the co-production of the responsibility.

We believe most rescue activity is a public safety function. If I get into a car wreck and the police come to the wreck, I don't get a bill from the police officer for his time. So why should I get a bill from a county sheriff if I need a rescue?

Police officers and firemen have safety training and protective equipment. The most a taxi driver might have is a Plexiglas window.

I think it was a safety concern for him and the university.

I don't see stunting falling in line with the goals of the university. Student safety is No. 1.

We walk the streets and talk to businesses, put in applications for health and safety, and talk to the police department.
