Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Thursday, 04/17/14 and Friday, 04/18/14. Did you know it was National Telecommunicators Week? If you know an emergency communications operator or 9-1-1 dispatcher, extend your arm for a pat on the back or a heart-felt thank you. We couldn’t do our job if they didn’t do theirs. They keep officers, firefighters and EMTs safe on the street. They are and always have been my heroes. ****Design Competition**** Okay all of you creative, artistic thinkers – all of you graphic design, advertising and art majors – it’s time to put your iPad mini where your mouth is – oh you don’t have an iPad mini?

If you are under the age of 21 and convicted of an alcohol related offense like the consumption of alcohol by a minor or the possession of alcohol by a minor and you do not receive another alcohol related charge before your 21st birthday, you can petition the court you received your only alcohol conviction to expunge (remove) the previous conviction from your record? You may be asking why this is important to know – well let me tell you. If you are in a degree program in which your future job, certification or licensing depends on having a clean criminal record then you may want to consider if the choices you make during your next party are worth your future career. 1900 University Avenue Public Intoxication: A UT staff member reported seeing a subject passed out on the side of the road.
