Interview with a police captain

Class, on Thursday Cpt. John Brandt from the University Police will come to our class from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. to let you interview him as a group about campus safety, violence and more.

I'd suggest you take some time today to look through some of the daily crime and incident logs compiled by campus police.

Crime report statistics are also aggregated on this page.

You might also think about some previous incidents on campus that you might want updates on (such as the hanging noose incident last year). Here are some stories on that from my students.

It will be your job to collectively ask enough questions during the hour to come up with your own story, which you will write in the remaining hour and a half of class. I will not tell you what to write; it's your job to find the story during our little in-class press conference.

You'll have a half hour at the start of class on Thursday to compile a list of questions, but doing some backgrounding tonight will help!
