Oso planning to go pro
My only question concerning the ones last night were why were these students out at 3 in the morning and not utilizing dps?
it may be with the added policing in Avenues west and other surrounding areas, the crime is moving closer to campus. My only question concerning the ones last night were why were these students out at 3 in the morning and not utilizing dps?

I'm afraid the only option is to allow people to arm themselves, like most states currently allow. One student putting up a fight may have a lasting impression on would-be thieves, rapists, and the like.

Not trying to stir anything up, but what would happen if that one student putting up a fight was shot (ala the incidence with the intruder at the party 2-3 years ago) and potentially killed? Campus was up in arms when the shooting happened 2-3 years ago, can you imagine what it would be like if a student putting up a fight got killed? Talk about plummeting application rates...
If it came to the point that a person has to arm themselves to attend Marquette . . . the school would basically be finished. I think the reason no one responded is because it's such a terribly dumb idea. Marquette really needs to step-up safety measures around campus. I think even more over-kill is proper in this instance.
there already is a camera at almost every alley. There is very little that happens on campus with dps not knowing about it. the only problem is campus is the academic buildings and up and down Wisconsin Avenue and Wells for a bit. West of 16th or 17th, I'd bet only campus property and parts of Wisconsin Ave are seen by camera.
I agree with you there, but whatever they can do, and however they can work with mpd to make sure some of our nation's future leaders in their respective fields are safe, i feel has to be done.along with this though, the students need to show intelligence in their decisions and make sure that they know these problems are out there and that they need to be careful as well. it can't be entirely on the shoulders of dps and mpd. we have to make sure we hold ourselves accountable and aren't wandering to get taco bell alone at 1 in the morning and other things of this nature.
There is a Public Safety forum scheduled for next Monday March 10th. It will be from 7:30-9:00pm in the AMU First Floor Lobby. Chief Larry Rickard, Captain Russell Shaw, and Captain James C. Harpole will discuss what DPS and MPD are doing in response to the recent events on campus and answer questions from students.

I took notice today since this thread has been started, I saw more PS cars in the daytime then I did from my walk back from class a couple minutes ago... let's just step up the presence when the times are bad.
