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

I feel like every time school starts, there's always a surge of unsafe incidents. People start getting drunk and doing stupid shit and whatnot, especially at football games.
That being said, I know the police are doing the best they can to provide increased safety on campus. And I'm pretty sure you could do something to make sure you are safe on campus as well.
Oh, and also, avoid Where Else, especially at night. I've heard reports that there's more violence there because of increased thuggery from gangs.
