First – OSU Police do not patrol off-campus (Yes, I am aware of the ‘pseudo-agreement’ in place) and therefore do not see all of the crime in the surrounding area. If you look at the stats in comparison to Northwestern which claims to be ‘the best’, we have a lot LESS crime considering that there are 40,000 MORE students!

They are trying to compare apples to oranges. More cops does not mean less crime. Using unarmed security, camera monitoring and operators, student safety, etc. all go to reduce crime.

I was a student just a few years ago – the campus is a very safe place to be. Off-campus – where CPD is responsible for – is an entirely different story and is out of the hands of OSU police.
