Editor,
I am a biology undergrad at UNM. I would like to share a concern with you about our campus police.
On Friday there was a man outside of Castetter Hall storming around and shouting. He began to slam on the doors that are kept locked year-round. He seemed to exaggerate this behavior when women walked past on the nearby sidewalk.
I called the campus police to let them know that there was a potentially dangerous situation. I was disappointed to find that they took about 12 minutes to arrive, and in that time this man had taken his antics to another level and left toward Centennial Library. I informed the late police officer that the man had left.
I wasn’t the only person who called UNMPD and waited for a resolution. I know there were at least three other people who called and waited in the area. I think it would be eye-opening for people to know that they may not be able to get the help or protection they need/expect from UNM police.
