Campus Watch: Below is a summary of campus activity reported to or observed by The University Police Department Patrol Officers between Wednesday, 11/26/14 and Monday, 12/01/14. ****Administrative Message**** With the closing of the year upon us, it is time to start compiling the “Best of” edition of the Campus Watch. If there is an entry that you found particularly beneficial, educational, quirky or just down right humorous, let us know. If you don’t recall the date of the issue, that is okay. Tell us the basic scenario and our crack investigators (Officer Brewster & I) will scour this year’s editions to find that one entry. By the end of the year, we will send out an attachment that has this year’s best of and ask the readers to vote on their favorite. In early 2015 we will post the top 10 for 2014.
