Campus Crimestoppers comes to Texas A&M this fal
By Stephanie Dube
The Battalion
In an effort to encourage student par-
ticipation in stopping crime, Texas
A&M’s Student Government is develop
ing an on-campus Crimestoppers pro
gram which is scheduled to be in opera
tion before the end of the fall semester.
Gene Zdziarski, assistant director of
student life at A&M, is a liaison between
the Brazos County Crimestoppers and
the campus Crimestoppers.
He said the campus Crimestoppers,
which is modeled after the county
Crimestoppers program, is expected to
be a positive program which will signifi
cantly help to decrease on-campus
crime.
“The county program deals with
felonies, while campus and school pro
grams deal with misdemeanor crimes,”
Zdziarski said.
The A&M campus, Zdziarski said,
falls under the Brazos County
Crimestopper’s jurisdiction for felony
crimes.
Lt. Bert Kretzschmar, who works
with crime prevention through the Uni
versity Police Department, said these
misdemeanors will include crimes such
as stolen backpacks, computer parts,
bikes and purses.
“A&M’s number one crime problem is
theft,” Kretzschmar said, “and people
lose property primarily through opportu
nity theft.”
* Opportunity theft, he said, occurs
when items which people have left unat
tended or unlocked are stolen.
Kretzschmar said the new Crimestop
pers program will provide students an
other method of being more involved
and aware of crimes on campus.
“It will be another avenue for which
students can report crimes,” Kret
zschmar said. “Often students see
what’s going on, and this is an avenue to
remain anonymous.”
Brooke Leslie, student body presi
dent, said people who call Crimestop
pers with tips will be able to remain
anonymous.
“Callers will be given a number, and
if the tip leads to solving the crime, they
will be reimbursed financially depend
ing on the degree of the crime,” Leslie
said.
However, Kretzschmar said, if a stu
dent witnesses a crime in progress, he or
she should call the police dispatcher im
mediately. Crimestoppers, he said, is a
good program for students with informa
tion about a crime.
“If they have overheard talk or have
knowledge of a crime, this is good for
Crimestoppers,” Kretzschmar said.
While Student Government will run
campus Crimestoppers program, UPD
will assist the program by advising stu
dents.
“I am an adviser to the program,”
Kretzschmar said. “I have gone to the
meetings and advised the Student Gov
ernment. I am their police liaisra
will be able to tell them if a tip ledt; |
arrest.”
In the past, Kretzschmar sai
