A day in the life
More like Mayberry RFD than Hill Street Blues, a day in the life of the campus police is typically filled with hissing radiators, stuck elevators, locked doors, false alarms and so on.
Security on campus.org
You will find the link to a Web site here, called Security on Campus. The Web site tells the story of Jeanne Ann Clery.
This is from the site:
The "Clery Act" is named in memory of 19 year old Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann Clery (pictured right) who was raped and murdered while asleep in her residence hall room on April 5, 1986.
Jeanne's parents, Connie and Howard, discovered that students hadn't been told about 38 violent crimes on the Lehigh campus in the three years before her murder. They joined with other campus crime victims and persuaded Congress to enact this law, which was originally known as the "Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990."
The law was amended in 1992 to add a requirement that schools afford the victims of campus sexual assault certain basic rights, and was amended again in 1998 to expand the reporting requirements. The 1998 amendments also formally named the law in memory of Jeanne Clery.
The law was most recently amended in 2000 to require schools beginning in 2003 to notify the campus community about where public "Megan's Law" information about registered sex offenders on campus could be obtained.
There are also links on the page to campus crime states in Kansas and other states.

Changes are coming
And it's about time
Compare the links to the right that show the difference between KU and K-State residence hall security measures.
You will see they differ by quite a bit. I come to this blog with a quest to make sure changes to K-State's system do occur.
What's the worst thing that you have ever seen or heard about happening in the residence halls? What should be done, if anything, to change the status quo?
For victims, how has the "system" treated you after the fact?
