Lieutenant Ruben Chavez, 51, said that crimes on campus are pretty limited to theft, personal safety and relationship issues.
“Students leave their items unattended and are more trusting than they should be,” Lt. Chavez said.
The woman who was stealing from Cosmetology students was finally arrested early this semster, nearly six months later, and Lt. Chavez said that the Cosmetology was a very trusting and open environment before that.
“Leaving items in your car in not even the best way to go,” Lt. Chavez said. “Locking the doors wont stop a thief from breaking into the car.”
20-year-old twins, Jazmin and Areli Gonzalez said they understood the risks of bring valuables onto campus.
“I am not going to bring my laptop to school, I only bring my books and school supplies,” Jazmin Gonzalez said. “And even if I did I would be more cautious.”
The two accounting students said they know the risks of bringing certain items to school.
But more that putting your things away in lockers or a safe place, Lt. Chavez said that student need to avoid crime on campus maintaining their own personal safety.
“Staff, faculty and students need to be aware of their surroundings, especially at night,” Lt. Chavez said. “Anyone can call us and we will provide them with an escort.”
