Thanks much for sharing our laser story with the campus community.

San Jose City College remains the only college in the Bay Area that offers studies in laser technology. We feel extremely privileged for lasers are continually playing increasing and/or critical roles in both our personal and professional lives. Our laser program, therefore, gives ambitious people an opportunity to stay professionally relevant as the technological landscape evolves.

Best Regards,

Dear Editor,

Your article on campus safety is very timely!

Given the economic difficulties our communities and nation are experiencing, law enforcement is seeing a dramatic increase in acts of desperation – violence against persons, and property crimes such as thefts and burglaries.

Our campus, although remaining relatively safe is a microcosm of our larger community, so the potential for these crimes can also escalate.

Your article helps us in law enforcement get the word out – that we need the campus community members to help us keep it safe.

That’s what Community Policing is about when there’s a realization there will never be enough police officers to catch all the criminals and that the community of staff and students are aware of what to do to help the Police Department deter, prevent crime and reduce crime.

Students need to be aware of their surroundings and not put themselves in vulnerable situations in becoming victimized. They need to be good witnesses for police investigations.

They need to see Law Enforcement as people who are genuinely concerned with their welfare. Together, we can protect our

campus and keep it safe. Congratulations on your article. It’s timely, relevant and so appropriate in our current situation!
