Tanna Kinnaman/DN UNL Police Officer Brian Peters, left, and CpI. Brian Scusa are going to the Atlanta Olympics this summer as security guards. Police Continued from Page 1 reputation." Other guards might have to be trained to deal with crowds. “It’s second nature to us,” Peters said. “We know how to settle things down before they become too in tense," Scusa said. “Crowds can be very powerful, especially if they’re working for a single goal, like tear ing down goal posts." Their training as bicycle police men also may have had a hand in being chosen. Scusa said during training, they learned how to do things on bikes such as go up and down stairs. Bicycles are excellent for ma neuvering through crowded areas quickly, Peters said, which might be something they will do in Atlanta. Scusa and Peters both will be in Atlanta for 21 days. They are using vacation time, but Scusa said the university would not mind their long absence. “We have the chance to bring back what we learn in Atlanta,” he said. They will be staying for free in the Olympic Village, and all of their food will be provided, although they do not get paid. They have received donations from two Lincoln groups — the Fraternal Order of Police and UNL’s Greek Affairs — to help cover expenses such as airplane tickets, Mary Ann Holland, staff assis tant at Greek Affairs, said the of fice wanted to help pay back the two men for what they had offered to greek students. UNL police give safety and se curity presentations to greek houses and have a good rapport with the greek system. “We had money left over from greek week, so we wanted to give it to them as a token,” Holland said. “The greek system wanted to do something very nice.” Only one other officer from Ne braska will be going to the Olym pics, Peters said. Although they’re not sure ex actly what they will be doing when they get there — whether it be su pervising or taking tickets — Pe ters said he thought of one thing he would like to do. “I’d really like to watch the Dream Team play.” Law & Order A 21-year-old Lincoln man was ireatened by a man attempting to peak into his car Tuesday night.
