The move is part of a larger, ongoing effort to improve safety on and around campus, though the Newswire suspects it may have a few side effects, as well. Beginning with the most important issue — safety — we see every reason to be optimistic about the plan’s results. Indeed, in scarcely more than a week, XUCP has been able to assist both departments on four occasions. Most notably, XUCP officers managed to apprehend two armed robbery suspects spotted near O’Connor. If our experience so far is any indication, then, we can expect that the new arrangement will allow XUCP to confront the criminal element long before it wan- ders haphazardly onto campus in search of rich kids’ quarters. On campus, too, the agreement is likely to have an impact. Although we doubt that many Norwood or Cincinnati patrol officers will deem Xavier a priority location, the same might actually hold true for XUCP, too. With their new, unfettered access to criminal hotspots along Montgomery Road and Dana Avenue, it may well turn out that Xavier Police has less time to deposit those dread-inducing pink slips on cars. But then, none of those upsides really matter if those extra squad cars patrolling near campus decide to harass party-goers until the next panhandler-turned-armed robber makes their move. So, in answer to your question, dear reader, of whether the plan will shove the stick even farther up the...whatnot...of Xavier’s nightlife, our answer is “Probably not.” Especially with regard to areas normally under the watch of Letters to the editor Cincinnati, our suspicion is that local police will be more than happy to lates to the lives of a typical col- like the American College Health defer to XUCP on complaints about student parties.
