It's illegal, in case you hadn't heard. I don't think there's anything wrong with it myself, but as long as it's illegal, if you're getting away with it you're just plain lucky that you aren't being more aggressively pursued. Try doing some of the things you do out in the real world and it won't be a PS officer showing up and giving you a break, it'll be a sheriff giving you a citation or arresting you. Enjoy it while you can, and appreciate PS for what they do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526819716761246177.post-89793034053968210492011-09-12T11:09:23.503-04:002011-09-12T11:09:23.503-04:00Hey guys, let's keep this respectful.

You're great for having an opinion, but keep in mind it's important to respect everyone else's. <br /><br />Also, in the name of clarification, there is currently a national search going on for a permanent Director of Public Safety.

In addition, the Commissions give our officers the authority to direct and control traffic on public highways (Rt. 5) and roads in the immediate vicinity of the college.<br />For example, a trespass by a non-student that would now be turned over to the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office will be handled by the SMCM Public Safety office instead. <br />The SMCM student body should not see any significant change in the enforcement of the college policies and it is expected that 99.9% of all violations will still be handled by the campus judicial boards. <br />Serious Part 1 crimes (robbery, rape, murder) will continue to be handled in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the college and the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office.<br />This is a positive change for the campus and I invite you to contact me should you have questions or concerns about the Special Police Commissions program.<br />Dave Zylak<br />Director, Public Safety<br />240-895-4911Dave Zylaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526819716761246177.post-20549352632088012872011-09-09T15:56:52.402-04:002011-09-09T15:56:52.402-04:00Really?Really?Sara Quicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526819716761246177.post-58796546494259670692011-09-07T21:44:46.837-04:002011-09-07T21:44:46.837-04:00Look at when @12:29 is posting, prime time for off...Look at when @12:29 is posting, prime time for office job bros to be checking out this sort of blogging bloggery blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526819716761246177.post-12380908476429308832011-09-07T21:27:52.902-04:002011-09-07T21:27:52.902-04:0012:29 is just another unfulfilled "grown up&q...12:29 is just another unfulfilled "grown up" who feels the need to talk down to younger people as a coping mechanism for the fact that his/her own youth is overAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526819716761246177.post-37569273070558668292011-09-07T20:30:45.880-04:002011-09-07T20:30:45.880-04:00Word up.

Just because many students don't want their small college with a low rate of crime (especially violent) to have a constant police presence on campus doesn't automatically make them criminals who are trying to get with MURDER.
