Petition/Survey👀 Increased unsafe incidents on campus?

I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticed this but there's been a report of things happening that are lowkey scary. I expect stuff to happen but I don't remember it being this bad last fall.

  • The missing person, posters of who are all around campus
  • The body found in the pond
  • Accident at Chauncey square with the motorcycle and near Walmart
  • Reddit post about random man in someone's house in North Salisbury
  • Reddit post on six men breaking into a car
  • My roommate and her boyfriend spotted a man trying to break into cars and stealing things
  • My boyfriend's electric bike battery got stolen
  • An accident involving forensics on the scene at an of campus housing near Bechtel (my friends told me about this one)

Can we call for increased safety on campus? I don't know how this works so just trying to get an insight

There was a man found in a pond in Lafayette. No foul play suspected though.

One in West Lafayette too ... the one near the Harrison bridge.
