Crime Prevention Tip: How do you define a friend? How do you define a true friend? This student might still have that true friend who was trying to do the right thing by making sure his friend got home safely after a night on the town. Having a sober friend with you is a great way to stay out of trouble. Don’t let the alcohol cloud your judgment when they are trying “patrol” you home for the night.
