According to Detective Tim Villarica, the University Police Department will be on alert this Halloween to help keep the campus community safe. Because of an increase in the number of children and adults out on Halloween, Villarica said the UPD will be cracking down on motorists speeding and running through stop signs. "It's really just heightened awareness for us," Villarica said. "We'll have more than our minimum staff." The bare minimum for the UPD is at least two officers on patrol, but the department usually has about five officers on a Saturday night, according to Officer Jenny Pak. Villarica said the UPD will also be keeping a close eye on convenience stores in the campus area. He said holdups usually involve criminals in disguise, so officers will be on alert because of the number of peo- ple dressed in costumes for the holiday festivities. Villarica also said there will be more staff present Saturday because of Halloween, in addition to the Spartan football game, which is expected to have its normal turnout. Villarica urges partying students to maintain a certain awareness of who and what is around them. He said women should be especially careful and should let others know about their plans, so there will be a cause for concern if they are late. As for those out driving, Villarica said people should use due caution and be aware that children G.I. Joe, a construction worker, an are going to be present.
