Snow College, under the direction of Chief Bob Wright, is working to instill these values within the 3,000 people that make up the Snow College campus community. Chief Wright comes to Snow College after serv ing the citizens of Sandy City for 26 y ears as a law enforcement officer and retiring from Sandy City as the Assistant Chief of Police. Wright is now heading the Snow College Department of Public Safety and Campus Security. Our main focus is crime prevention, states Wright, we believe that Community Oriented Policing can be the most effective way of dealing w ith crime and the fear of crime. Community safety is everyones responsibility and law enforcement is the tool to enhance this safety. Wright is working conjunctively with Ephraim City Police Department, under the direction of Chief Rasmussen, as well as w ith Sanpete County Sheriff, Claude Pickett. Wright has also appointed twelve Snow College students to work on his staff. The security department will be monitoring as many student events as possible, including stomps and games. With the help of student campus organizations, such as Associated Womens Society (AWS) and the Martial Arts Club, campus safety is catching on. Sexual Assault Awareness Day (SAAD) was held on August 31. AWS passed out safety whistles and the Martial Arts Club held a free self defense clinic. In addition to SAAD, several security programs are going to be addressed throughout the year, including the Student Housing Crime Watch, Campus Watch, and antidrag and alcohol programs. This is a big step in a good direction. Becky says Hermanson. Director of Student Legal Notice Ephraim City Waterlines Janette S.
