Calvin Gallman knows campus safety is an
important issue.
As victim/witness coordinator for the Division
of Law Enforcement and Safety, Gallman
points out how campus police aim to help make
the campus open to learning more about safety
and to encourage everyone to pay attention
to their surroundings.
This way, students and faculty can be exposed
to proper precautions to be taken in the
event of danger and make use of them.
"People should make intelligent decisions
and use common sense," Gallman said.
If s essential for the police officer to be a part
of the community. And officers in uniform are
around campus 24 hours a day, whether on foot
or bicycle.
Also, they have an adopt-a-cop program,
which allows officers to spend their time in a
specific part of the community and attend functions
in that area.
"This makes (the officers) more approachable,"
Gallman said.
The most common crime on campus is theft.
When this occurs, it's important the victim report
the incident quickly.
"Timely reporting is essential," Gallman
said.
For instance, if a student's book is stolen,
the student should report the thelt nght away.

This way, officers can call the bookstore and
notify them so the criminal won't be able to sell
the book back.
Rape is one of the less common crimes on
campus.
Only two rapes were reported last year to
the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety.
"If you report something,
you are an
extension of the police
department."
Calvin Gallman
victim/witness coordinator,
Division of Law Enforcement & Safety
Rape often goes unreported because the victim
feels like the incident was his or her fault.
However, if s important that victims contact
someone.
Gallman can assist victims in going to court
if they report the incident.
"I can get details for what the victim
might need," he said.
Gallman also encourages the students and
faculty to look out for each other and to report
any crime they witness.
"If you report something, you are an extension
of the.police department," he said.

According to Gallman, most crimes occur in p"
early fall.
He attributes this trend to a variety of reasons,
such as new students adjusting to university
life and leaving home for the first
time.
As activities increase, crime increases as
well.
For example, Gallman said more problems
with alcohol take place when there are big sporting
events. j|
"Anytime you have more activity, crime will Jjf|
go up," he said.
In order to prevent crime, Gallman emphasizes
that students should be aware of safety ?
tips and follow them.
He said that doing this will keep students
safer than if they decided to carry weapons instead.
There are a number of other things students
can do to protect themselves.
Project I. D. is a campus program in which
students can get their valuables engraved with ; .
a number.
If those valuables are stolen or lost and then 4
found again, they can be traced back to the ownStudents
can enter this program by con- f
tacting their resident advisers, resident hall di- /
rectors or the Office of Crime Awareness.
The USC Police Department also tries to >
prevent crimes with door hangers.
If students accidentally leave their room fe
or car doors open, officers can put a warning H
hanger on the door.
