College Prowler Take

Students are not too worried about the strictness of the UA police, but the Tuscaloosa police are a different story. The UA police make sure the students are safe. They are not very strict. The Tuscaloosa police are harsher on underage drinking and do not tolerate drugs. Along with the Tuscaloosa police, watch out for the ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control).

At certain times of the year, the Tuscaloosa police and the ABC get together and patrol the bars and house parties pretty hard. This is usually around the beginning of the school year. Police are trying to scare away all of the underage students that try to drink in the bars. After a while, the police start to calm down a little, but students recommend continuing to be careful because they are never completely gone. News travels fast around Tuscaloosa, and students usually find out early if the police are out busting the bars. No matter which police you prefer, they both make students feel safe, but watch out for the stricter ones.

Everyone is laid-back. You can walk across campus on a football Saturday with a 30 pack, and no one will even be suspicious. I have never had a run in with drugs on campus.

They are as strict as they need to be. They will level with you on warnings, but once you're caught, you're caught. Basically, as long as you're not acting a fool, blatantly using something, or doing something wrong, they probably won't even notice.

On and off. They’ll crack down really hard for a while and scare people, then they’ll back off. But you usually know when not to mess up around here. Word travels fast about what to watch out for.
