Seattle University Public Safety Report

In the United States, there are city, county, state, and national police forces. They have very difficult and dangerous responsibilities. These public servants are required to perform many different jobs. They enforce laws and maintain order. They teach people how to help prevent crime and to protect themselves ( Mittleman, 2000). They offer assistance and take charge of many different situations such as car accidents, flooding, and hurricanes. Police

The presence of a police department allows students to feel safe. The UCR police department (UCRPD) is located toward the beginning of campus housing. Similar to any other building on campus, the building’s interior can be seen through clear glass. Located near PARKING LOT 24, surrounded by lively green grass, the building is painted white. At the top, a sign read in capital letters, “POLICE.” The sign is identical to any other police stations on television. Then, at the door, printed in bold and capitalized letters on normal printing paper, a sign read, “THE DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE.” Everything seemed to be in signs as no one was available to instruct people.
