November 2, 1973 Towerlight, Towson State College Page 5 Security force active at TSC criminal complaints decrease By Marlene Milder During the calendar year, the Security force at Towson investigates such charges as assault and battery, indecent exposure, obscene phone calls, and shoplifting, besides reports of thefts and narcotic raids. Gene Dawson, Department Head of the Security Force at Towson, explained that a Towson Security officer possesses the same power of any police officer in the United States within the confines of the law. Complaints decrease Criminal Complaint reports numbered 369 as of October 29, 1972 whereas October 29, 1973 saw a decrease in the Criminal Complaints department, with 328 complaints reported, (a decrease of 41 complaints). Dawson attributes this decline of crime to the tighter security measures taken in the Residental Tower. When the Tower was planned, there were no added locks put on the quad doors or in the elevators. This past year, locks were installed in the elevator and on the quad doors to establish a tighter reign of protection for the resident students. Dawson explained that the security in the Tower is comparable to security precautions taken in the home. He further stressed that the Security Force does not go looking for trouble but rather investigates when called upon. Main Crime Areas The two main areas of crime on campus include purse snatching and the stealing of bicycles, both chained and unchained. Better locking devices on the bicycles could help alleviate this problem. “Cheep chains on a ten-speed bike invited a potential theft.” cautions Dawson, “and it is the responsibility of the individual to take the necessary precautions.” Students’ absentmindedness also causes many thefts. A student will leave his belongings unattended, coming back to find his possessions gone. Dawson cites this as an attitude problem of the people on campus. He feels “students have too much trust for one another," and thus carelessness enters into the picture. From January to September of 1973, approximately $29,000 worth of equipment has been stolen, including a few breaking and entering violations, but carelessness was still a great contributing factor in those larcenies. A major college in the Washington Metropolitan Area, comparable in size to Towson State, has experienced 51 armed holdups. Towson has never experienced any such crime, and Security is determined to maintain this record. - Parking Situation There have been many complaints concerning the insufficient parking conditions on campus. Mr. Dawson emphasized that the Security Force does not make the parking regulations, but issues tickets in conjunction with these regulations. The regulations, he added, are set by a committee comprised of students, (acuity, and staff members. Many Security officers have gone to school in order to familiarize themselves with narcotics. "Most of the officers are fully capable of investigating a narcotics crime and will not hesitate in using their power of arrest,” stressed Dawson. He cautions students to take the Security Force seriously. Mr. Dawson feels involvement will help stop burglary. The people on this campus or anywhere else in the county should not be apathetic towards their fellowman. Reporting suspicious incidents and identifying suspects when possible can help cure the crime problem. LOSE 20 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS!
