12/1—No Incidents

There were no incidents reported to the Pierce College Sheriff’s for the last week of November, according to Angie Moore, senior office assistant at the Sheriff’s Office.

Incidents have declined because the number of people on campus in November has dropped significantly since the semester’s start in September, Sheriff’s Deputy Al Guerrero said.

Since the final withdrawal date on Nov. 23, the students that are left on campus are focused on schoolwork, and not causing incidents, Guerrero said.

“It’s a good time of year for us,” Guerrero said. “And we’re just here to make sure they can finish their studies.”

Sheriffs remove transients

Three male derelicts were removed from campus by the Pierce College Sheriffs last month when they were found using the northend of the construction area by the old Campus Center as shelter, according to Sheriff’s Deputy Al Guerrero.

The Sheriffs found the men during one of their routine patrols, Guerrero said.

No transients have been found on campus since then, according to Guerrero.

How to not get your stuff stolen

Petty theft of items like cell phones, laptops and purses are common crimes on campus that we report about almost every issue. But it’s easy to prevent your stuff from showing up in the next Incident Report.

“Take everything with you that is valuable to you, no matter how short a time you’re going to be away from it,” Sheriff’s Deputy Al Guerrero said. “Don’t assume anything’s safe where you leave it.”
