Campus Police Working to Reduce Crime
I am writing in response to the letter from Deborah Kon in the Sept. 24 issue of At Guelph.
It is always regrettable when anyone is a victim of a crime. We are fortunate at the University to have crime rates that are lower than those in the city of Guelph, but crimes of opportunity such as car break-ins do still occur. Campus Community Police continues to work actively to reduce crime on campus.
In partnership with Parking Services, we patrol all University parking lots, including those of our two family residences. For many years, revenue generated by parking fees has been used to increase lighting and the number of blue emergency phones across campus. In addition, this fall we launched a Neighbourhood Watch program with Family Housing to get more “eyes and ears” involved.
We are continually looking at ways to keep our community safe and secure.

Campus Community Police, Fire Prevention and Parking Services
