Fort Collins – Colorado State University has hired five additional campus police officers who will be assigned to patrol dormitories.
The officers will patrol the dorms to get to know the students and deter any criminal activity, said Sgt. Ed Bozic, watch commander.
Police Chief Dexter Yarbrough said having officers in dorms not only increases visibility but also familiarizes officers with day-to-day activity.
“It allows us to keep a finger on the pulse of what’s going on,” he said.
Bozic said the changes allow the department to take a more proactive approach to crime on campus.
“It’s up to the watch commander to make sure as many of the halls possible are covered and as much time as possible is spent in them,” he said.
