Howard Student on Alert
Between August 16 and September 16, 12 Howard students have been robbed, armed and unarmed, and two have been sexually assaulted.
This number, provided by the Howard University Campus Police Department, does not include unreported crime.
Five of the twelve robberies have occurred on campus. In addition, one of the sexual assaults occurred on campus.
Students may be disturbed to discover that the emergency Blue Light Systems on campus do not work and will not dial for help if you press the button.
Instead, students may hear the sounds of someone else dialing or a voice. Neither one is helping you.
Campus Police Chief Leroy K. James is in negotiations to replace the broken systems but finds that the cost of the project is slowing the progress. He reports the project will be finished within the coming months.
"I don't want to put in something that's mediocre," he said. "I want something that is available to you when you need it."
James said in the meantime, "I urge students to call the dispatch number since most students have cell phones. [Use your cell phone so] that when you're in a situation where you need help, you get help."
