Law would require
university police
to release records
By Jeremy Fitzpatrick
Senior Reporter
UNL police already are in step
with proposed federal legislation that
would require campus police units to
make arrest records public, the police
chief said.
An amendment offered by Sen.
Tim Wirth, D
Colo.,tothe 1991
Violent Crime
Control Act would
require campus
police depart
ments to make
arrest records
available to the public.
Wirth ’ s amendment would change
the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy act of 1974, which currently
prohibits the disclosure of students’
arrest records without their permis
sion.
Ken Cauble, chief of thp Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln pdlicc force,
said all incident reports taken by the
campus police already are open to the
public.
An incident report is taken when
officers are called to service, he said.
The report includes what happened,
where it happened and the names of
any individuals arrested.
Cauble said he believes making
the information available to the pub
lic is important.
“We have never considered itright
to try and keep information from the
public,” he said. “My personal feel
ing is that the best way to serve the
community is to keep them informed
and involved.”
Cauble said the legislation would
be helpful at universities where ad
ministrators attempted to underreport
crime statistics. That is not the case at
UNL, he said.
“We are concerned about what is
going on,” he said, “and we want
people to know so they can protect
themselves.”
Andrew Hudson, Wirth’s deputy
press secretary, said the senator origi
nally had been motivated to intro
duce the legislation because of con
flict between federal and state laws at
Colorado State University.
Colorado state law requires all arrest
records to be made public, and in
following the law, CSU violated the
federal legislation that prohibited the
release of such records.
After the Department of Educa
tion threatened to cut off CSU’s fed
eral funding if it continued to release
student arrest records, Wirth intro
duced the amendment that would
legalize the release of campus arrest
records.
Hudson said the amendment origi
nally was aimed at CSU, but Wirth’s
office found the same conflict be
tween stale and federal law at many
universities.
“We received quite a few calls that
said this was going to help out at
many campuses,” he said.

To qualify for the scholarship,
students would have to be U.S. citi
zens, meet requirements for admis
sion as a trainee of their local police
forces,demonstrate a sincere motiva
tion to stay in law enforcement, and
possess the mental and physical char
acteristics nccessai7 to discharge
effectively the duties of a law en
forcement officer.
The legislation would authorize
$100 million a year for the program in
1992 and 1993 and $200 million a
year for 1994,1995 and 1996.
Similar versions of the bill were
passed by the Senate on July 11 and
the House of Representatives on Oct.
22. The two now must confer on the
bill to iron out differences and then
send it to President Bush.
Vincent Webb, chairman of the
criminal justice department at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said
he supported the act.

tial financial assistance for UNL’s
400 criminal justice students.
“For those people who arc eli
gible,” he said, “it is certainly a sizeable
source of financial assistance.”
Although he said the new program
should be evaluated critically to de
termine if it will serve a pressing
need, Webb gave it his support.
“Overall, I’m cautiously pleased
and optimistic if it gets funded,” he
said.
