Description: Cannabis Use or Possession
Location: GCC

Notes: The director of Community Safety encountered the odor of cannabis while hosting the 4/20 “Doughnuts not drugs” event on the south side of the GCC. The director followed the odor until he arrived at a student holding a cannabis joint and exhaling smoke. When the director approached and greeted the student, the student returned the greeting and handed to the director a plastic container which held the remains of the joint. The director reminded the student that the event was to encourage students to eat doughnuts instead of smoke cannabis on 4/20, and that the event was supposed to be an inclusive space where all students could feel comfortable, including those who were not comfortable around substance use. The student apologized for, what they stated was, a misunderstanding on their part and the director returned to his event hosting duties.

Description: Theft from Vehicle
Location: West Lot

Notes: A CSO responded to a report of a suspicious individual possibly siphoning gas from a vehicle parked in the West Lot. The CSO did not encounter any suspicious individuals or activity when they arrived at the West Lot. They did encounter the odor of gasoline and observed a puddle of what appeared to be gas on the ground in an empty parking space near the ºìÌÒÊÓƵ vans. They spread absorbent on the puddle. They then spoke with the reporting individual, a ºìÌÒÊÓƵ staff member, who stated that the two individuals responsible for siphoning the gas drove away in a black Hyundai sedan, and that they had backed their vehicle into the staff member’s vehicle during their swift exit. The staff member reported very minimal damage to their vehicle. The CSO returned to 28 West to exchange information with Dispatch, then returned to the West Lot to meet with a ºìÌÒÊÓƵ staff member from Environmental Health and Safety to spread additional absorbent material around the vans, whose gas tanks had been punctured.

The CSO performed an initial assessment, not observing any signs of an ongoing medical emergency, and escorted the student to their room.

CS Survey Responses:

Every week Community Safety requests survey responses from those who've had interactions with a member of the Community Safety team. These responses are always collected anonymously with the option for the responder to leave contact information if they would like for a member of Community Safety management to contact them, and are used internally for departmental performance tracking. Community Safety has opted to publish these survey results for transparency and community accountability. *Names and pronouns mentioned in survey responses will be redacted to protect the privacy of individuals.

In addition to surveys sent directly to those who have interacted with Community Safety, the ºìÌÒÊÓƵ community is always encouraged to independently complete the survey regarding Community Safety's performance.
