Secondary offenses on campus, such as DUIs, forgeries and criminal mischief, have significantly significant-ly increased from 754 in 1989 to 1,664 in 1990. "Compared to other colleges and universities in Utah, we look good when you look at a city our size," Shepherd says. In 1990, Congress passed a "Students' Right To Know and Campus Cam-pus Security Act" that requires colleges col-leges and universities to disclose campus crime statistics and security securi-ty measures. Only a small portion of colleges and universities (320 out of 8,000) were found to report to the FBI, which compiles the data and releases it to the public. All Utah institutions of higher education regularly provide this information, in-formation, Shepherd says. In fact, his department goes beyond mandatory man-datory reporting of serious crimes to the FBI by sending monthly crime statistics, including locations of rapes, to the campus newspaper. With adequate information, students will be better able to protect pro-tect themselves, says Shepherd. For instance, police record campus incidents in-cidents then pass the information on to campus organizations.

U.S. Savings Bonds wm The Great Anencari Invwameit "Education also is important in the prevention of crime," says Shepherd. "Sometimes we fail to educate freshmen on what rape is and the laws relating to it." He says education can help prevent crime if people are made to understand the consequences of their actions. Shepherd believes the U can take other steps to help protect students on campus. "We need a good protocol pro-tocol to help victims be able to count on predictable services," says Shepherd. "It will reduce duplication duplica-tion and costs of services as well." Because of these concerns, university univer-sity police together with The Daily Utah Chronicle, the dean of student affairs and services, Women's Resource Center, public relations, College of Nursing and Equal Opportunity Oppor-tunity Office are developing a plan to fit the university's needs. "Cooperation is the key to safety on campus," says Shepherd. "I think the reason we enjoy a low crime rate is the cooperation between bet-ween our police department and students, staff and faculty." When guards check buildings, they are the "eyes and ears" of campus cam-pus police who enforce the laws and make arrests when necessary. Even though they have different respon-sibioities respon-sibioities the two groups serve the same population, he adds.

As a result, they share jurisdiction over the fraternity-sorority neighborhood. "The key to any police department's depart-ment's success is the willingness of the community it serves to get involved," in-volved," says Shepherd. Recently, police made arrests for 10 burglaries on campus during one week. Fifty percent of these were the result of people reporting something suspicious. One of the reasons behind campus cooperation is that Shepherd encourages en-courages his officers to go the extra mile in serving the university community. com-munity. For instance, police escort people across campus nightly upon request, jump-start stalled cars and unlock 180 or more car doors every month. By helping people, U of U police build a positive image for themselves. As the public learns to trust and work with them, it also makes their job easier. Both the pub-blic pub-blic and police benefit when officers have to spend only 5 to 10 percent of their time making arrests, Shepherd says. There is more time for service to people. "I've always believed if you pro-vcide pro-vcide high quality service you get more community cooperation and more crimes reported," Shepherd says. "It becomes a positive cycle." highlighting her talk with some of her travel experiences. Visitors and residents of the Park City area are invited to come to this event.
