SOME UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO STUDENTS FEEL AS IF CAMPUS POLICE AREN’T THERE WHEN THEY NEED THEM … AND SAY THEY SELDOM SEE POLICE OFFICERS ON CAMPUS. BUT LATER THIS MONTH, UNM POLICE WILL ROLL OUT THE BIKE PATROL, GIVING THEM BETTER ACCESS TO ALL PARTS OF UNM.
POLICE LIEUTENANT TRACE PECK TELLS KOB TV THE NEW BIKE POLICING PROGRAM IS MEANT TO IMPROVE SAFETY ON CAMPUS AND INCREASE OFFICER VISIBILITY. HE SAYS THEIR JURISDICTION RUNS FROM UNM AND THE HOSPITAL ALL THE WAY TO ATHLETICS AND THE SOUTH END OF THE CAMPUS.
THE BIKE PATROL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN BY THE END OF THIS MONTH.
