UAPD doesn't help or care about student issues

I have a question. What exactly does our UAPD do? Can anyone tell me? From what I can see they do nothing at all. They sure don't help the students in any way, shape or form. As for what I see, their purpose in being here is only to give MIPs, raid our parties and write parking tickets in the Zone 1 lots.

OK, well hear me out. I called the police for property damage caused by several members of a fraternity. But the police came to take a look, wrote a report and left. They didn't take any pictures or even go ask questions to the members of the other fraternity in which both sides know who did it. They wouldn't even investigate the issue at all. That day, if the police had made everyone step out of that fraternity house, I with several other members, could have identified the members of that fraternity who committed the vandalism. All they said was that they would patrol the area more often. To me, this proves that all members of fraternities can, in fact, get away with vandalism crimes with nothing to worry about. Fraternity members throw cans of paint at each other's houses, they steal $3,000 composites from the sorority houses, and even send their pledges on scavenger hunts with a list of items that are in other fraternity houses. We all know this is old news, yet the police do nothing. [Read article]
