Last week TCU witnessed its biggest drug bust in its history. There were 18 total students arrested including four football players, three fraternities, and one sorority involved. This was part of a six month investigation involving both the Fort Worth and TCU police departments.
Although this seemed to be a huge drug bust on any college campus, all of the drug transactions that took place involved sales of no more than $600. When it comes down to it, it's ridiculous to have made it so news worthy that one would think that the Mexican Drug Cartel was involved. I believe that the police departments were more interested in publicity than actually "stopping crime."
That brings me to the point of my posting today. What has been going on this academic year that both police departments should be more focused on is that of sexual assaults, assaults, robbery and burglary. In a one week span in late August, 2011, two sexual assaults and an attempted assault were reported on and around the campus. Although there are no published articles available to the public, TCU has had four incidents this semester of the stated above problems, three of which happened within a five day period. My question is where are the police that are supposed to be protecting these students? Oh yeah I forgot, most of them are trying to catch people selling the "life threatening" marijuana dealers.
