Just Another Day at UCR

I;m not on campus much, but we always have these emails sent to us talking about students getting mugged and even being sexually harassed by a complete stranger. So in terms of that, I think my school could do a lot better, but then again these events have only taken place really early in the morning which is pretty much the students fault for being out so late. There is room for improvement still.

Police and Safety Services

I feel extremely safe at school since I am signed up for a cool system that automatically sends me alerts on my phone on anything that happens in school even when I am not on school grounds. I thinks this service is great since I am immediately notified of the dangers by the school police.

Arsonists, rapists, and thieves love it here at UCR

Every week the UCPD sends an email with reports of crime on and off campus. Every week you hear something worse than the week before. It starts off with a report of how many cars had windows smashed in before everything but the parking permit was stolen. Next, you will hear of rapes that occurred at knife-point or gun-point (does it really matter which?) on campus- such as on the second floor of the library or in the bathroom of the rec-center. Eventually you will hear about the pedestrian who was shot and killed during a fire-fight between the cops and some random thug at the local Denny's (it's at the University Village about a 3 minute walk from the edge of campus). Suicide attempts happen during spring quarter, and people start setting the campus on fire. No joke. An entire wing of the dorms burned down because of an arson, and molotov cocktails were found spread around campus behind classrooms.
