UNL police help keep campus safe
By Catherine Blalock
Staff Reporter
The numbers are down, but cam
pus safety is still a concern at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
UNL Police Sgt. Bill Manning
said the total number of crimes on
the UNL campus have decreased in
the last year.
Crimes against individuals have
decreased, he said, but at the same
time crimes against property have
increased.
Students can protect their prop
erty by remembering to lock their
car doors and keeping valuables
out of site, he said.
All parking lots are patrolled 24
hours a day to prevent car vandal
ism and theft; but it is impossible to
keep an eye on everything at once,
Manning said.
In addition, the residence halls
are patrolled by community offic
ers, Cather Residence Hall Direc
tor Joel Johnson said.
“Students need to remember that
they are living in a housing unit.
They need to remember to lock
their doors if they leave for any
reason and escort anyone onto the
floor,” he said.
Another crime preventer are the
blue phones located on both cam
puses that can be used for any emer
gency a student has.
But students need to realize that
the blue phones aren’t just for trivial
use.
“What you think is an emer
gency may not be an emergency to
me,” Manning said.
Students may use the phones to
report an accident, or to ask for
assistance if they have run out of
gas, locked their keys in their cars
or are lost, he said.
If a student locks their keys in
their car, someone will be sent out
to open it, he said.
Even students living off campus
can receive help if the problem is
directed back to the campus or to
the student.
Lincoln Police will be called in
if the situation requires it, UNL
Police Chief Cauble said.
The UNL police department also
provides assistance to students who
are victims of crimes through the
Victim Service Program.
Lisa Cauble, Victim Services
Coordinator, said services are avai 1
able to discuss options about re
porting a crime, transportation to
court, filing protection orders and
assisting with a professor if a stu
dent is absent from class due to
being a victim.
Students can reach Lisa Cauble
through the UNL Police Depart
ment.
Campus safety is also a concern
of students.
Campus Watch, an organization
similar to Neighborhood Watch, is
scheduled to begin this fall.
Boon Lim £ee, a 25 year-old
who graduated in May, has been
working toward making Campus
Watch a reality after the Oct. 17,
1993 beating of Boon Chung Ong,
a UNL student from Malaysia.
“I think it will benefit the whole
campus. We all need to watch out
for each other,” Lim said.
Student volunteers trained
through the UNL police department
will patrol the campus and report
anything suspicious to the UNL -
police department, Chief Cauble
said.
“Our goal is to provide assis
tance,” he said.
The UNL police department is
available 24 hours a day, seven,
days a week to help students.
While crimes have decreased on
campus, crimes in Lincoln have in
creased by 5 percent in the last
year, Lincoln Police Chief Tom
Casady said.
In 1993 Lincoln ranked 34 out
of 36 cities with a population of
150,000 to 250,000, for violent
crimes.
“Living in a city of 200,000,
people need to practice crime pre
vention,” he said.
