OSU POLICE UPGRADES 

IN CENTRAL OHIO, POLICE AT THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY HAVE MADE UPGRADES IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE CAMPUS AREA SAFER
BOTH SIDES OF OSU'S POLICE CRUISERS ARE NOW DECKED OUT WITH A BRIGHT BLUE LIGHT. THE CHANGE COMES FROM A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT GOVERNMENT. OSU POLICE SAY THE LIGHTS HELP PEOPLE RECOGNIZE AND APPROACH POLICE IF NEEDED. BUT POLICE ALSO HOPE THE LIGHTS DETER CRIME WHEN THEY DRIVE AROUND CAMPUS AT NIGHT. SEVERAL LICENSE PLATE READERS WERE ALSO ADDED AROUND CAMPUS AND THIS IS TO HELP POLICE SPOT A STOLEN VEHICLE OR A MISSING PERSON AND KNOW IF A DRIVER HAS WARRANTS. STUDENTS TELL US THEY ARE HAPPY WITH THE CHANGES AND FEEL SAFE ON CAMPUS.
