I would like to express my Thanks to everybody; it is not just the police department working to make the University of Texas a safer campus. It is a combined effort starting with the students, staff, faculty, and more importantly the parents who encourage their sons and daughters to be safe. Attached to this issue of today's Campus Watch is the culmination of the "Best of 2006". I would like to think everyone that submitted their favorite crime story for 2006. I have two stories that tied for first place.
