College Prowler Take
The bottom line is that Campus Security (Camp Sec) really cares about the safety of the students. You will pretty much be left alone unless you are really flaunting it or endangering yourself or others. If you are going to partake in questionable activities—be intelligent. Close the door, pour the can into a cup, and be responsible enough not to get hurt and you won’t have any problems. There is a pretty good blind eye policy, and Camp Sec will only intervene if you are being blatantly dangerous or stupid. If someone does get hurt, they are more interested in making sure that the person is helped and the situation is made safe for all involved than for citing someone for an infraction.
For the most part, students and Campus Security officers are on really good terms. As long as students are reasonable, everything goes smoothly. Only when people get stupid do problems occur. Perhaps the biggest complaint about Campus Security is the slow response time after the fire alarms have been pulled in the middle of the night; people are left standing outside at 3 a.m. and are not really in the mood to wait for them to secure the premises before re-entering.

Campus Security is usually very lenient with drugs and alcohol. Most of the time, the way to go is just don’t be stupid. Don’t walk around with an open container or you’ll get busted. No one really ever gets arrested but the RAs, so sometimes you will get the smack down if you’re being ‘disobedient.’ A word of advice: don’t be stupid, and you won’t have any problems. |
