Tufts has its own police...
Tufts has its own police department, which is really committed to making Tufts and the surrounding area safe. We do live in a city, so there are occasional incidents, usually incited by a non-student, but there are lots of ways you can avoid rough situations, like asking for a free, no-hassle police escort. For the most part, the police are not out to get you and they walk a delicate line between protecting us from the outside and keeping drinking under control without arresting people left and right.
