Crime report couple comments

I was skimming through the crime report that Mr. John Pack so nicely sent me twice today and I could not help to post about it. The first thing that caught my attention is that burglaries have increased 33.3333% since last year. So wait a sec... haven't Augsburg improved security measures on campus to avoid this? Well the numbers suggest that not really! I don't blame security though. I think the root of the problem is that we have become very open to community. So much that we don't care who is on campus. If you remember I caught a guy trying to steal a bike during daylight. People walked by and did not pay a bit of attention to the guy who clearly did not belong around here. Ultimately, security is something that lies partially on all of the community and it is mostly enforced by DPS. So we can ask for much when we don't give much. That is "you get what you give." So next time you are a victim of burglary ask yourself who is responsible. a) The Augsburg Community b) DPS c) Both a>b

The other interesting fact is that alcohol violations have actually decreased approximately 18% since 2005... I would guess this actually would fluctuate in the other direction. Moral of this portion: "Life is unpredictable"

PS still trying to record some pcasts :(
