Crime
is
a
serious
problem
through
out
the
world,
but
it
is
not
limited
to
the
city
streets.
Right
here,
on
our
college
campus,
crime
is
increasing.
Theft,
vandalism,
and
hit
and
run
accidents
occur
all
too
frequently,
and
it
is
about
time
we
did
something
to
protect
ourselves.
A
program
called
College
Watch
was
coordinated
by
Madeline
Dent,
after
the
realization
that
the
chained
down
staff
microwave
had
been
stolen.
The
strategy
committee
is
composed
of
instructors,
administrators
and
students
hoping
to
increase
the
awareness
of
crime
on
the
campus.
As
a
unique
program
,
College
Watch
is
operated
in
conjunction
with
the
RCMP,
Prince
George
Crimestoppers,
and
the
full
support
of
all
college
affiliated
groups.
Through
this
program,
its
coordinators
hope
to
make
students
aware
of
what
goes
on
around
the
college,
and
to
report
any
problems
to
the
RCMP
and
the
College.
Since
crime
is
increasing
in
the
College
area,
it
is
important
that
students
report
what
they
may
see.
In
the
past
year,
many
items
have
been
stolen
from
the
College,
varying
from
specialty
tools
from
the
shops,
to
computers,
VCR's
and
video
cameras.
When
items
such
as
these
are
stolen,
they
must
be
replaced,
perhaps
causing
a
rise
in
tuition
to
cover
the
costs.
If
students
take
part
in
reporting
criminal
acts,
the
college
will
be
a
safer
place.
Crime
does
not
only
occur
in
the
college
building.
Vandalism
is
a
serious
crime,
and
must
be
CAMPUS
CRIME
reported.
What
about
those
tight
fitting
parking
spots?
Have
you,
or
someone
you
know
been
a
victim
of
a
hit
and
run?
How
much
did
it
cost
you
to
program
that
guarantees
its
callers
anonymity.
When
a
person
witnesses
a
crime,
(called
a
TIPSTER),
they
can
call
the
Prince
George
Crimestoppers
AWTWWJMLr

replace
that
broken
tail
light
after
your
car
was
hit?
Maybe
someone
saw
this
accident
occur,
but
never
reported
it,
and
obviously
the
driver
w
v
n't
b
ni's!
enough
to.
Through
the
use
oi
'
College
Watch
Program,
students
will
be
educated
on
the
importance
of
reporting
crime.
Crimestoppers
is
a
community
tips
line
(564-TIPS),
to
provide
information.
The
TIPSTER
is
given
a
number,
and
is
asked
to
call
back
in
three
weeks
for
an
update.
Action
is
taken
on
the
information,
and
if
the
information
is
successful,
the
TIPSTER
may
be
eligible
for
a
reward.
The
College
Watch
Program
recognizes
the
need
for
students

The
College
marks
all
of
its
valuables
through
a
program
called
operation
provident,
in
which
items
are
given
a
special
identification
number
which
is
identifiable
across
Canada.
It
is
time
that
the
students
at
CNC
took
a
stand
against
crime.
Through
this
program,
students
will
be
educated
on
how
and
what
to
do
if
they
should
witness
a
crime.
After
all,
it
is
the
student
who
loses
in
the
long
run
if
crime
is
not
reported.
Students
must
feel
safe
at
the
school,
and
if
we
take
the
time
to
learn
how
to
identify
and
report
crime,
CNC
will
be
a
safer
place.
The
College
Watch
Program
is
looking
for
volunteers
to
help
with
different
tasks.
This
may
include,
but
is
not
limited
to:
distributing
pamphlets,
posting
signs,
or
making
posters.
If
you
are
interested,
please

James
at

the
cafeteria
on
Monday,
April

to
provide
more
information
on
the
program.
An

between
