...petition created by the Pforzheimer House Committee executives calls for increases in security around the Quad. The petition, which as of yesterday evening had over 100 signatures, calls for an increase in the number of Harvard University Police Department officers on duty in the Quad area, more blue phones on Garden Street, extended shuttle service during the night, as well as a new HUPD safety awareness campaign. Elizabeth B. Hadaway ’09, a Pforzheimer HoCo co-chair, said the petition was created following a HoCo forum to address safety issues in mid-September. “It?...

They scream at inhumanly high pitches, they cackle and guffaw, they blast ’90s pop into the wee hours (especially during Reading Period). Some of us respond in kind—by yelling for quiet, throwing sneakers...
...greater risk of property crime,” which accounts for 95 per cent of crime on campus. “What we have done is try to increase visibility,” Riley said. HUPD has sent officers on bikes up and down the corridor to the Quad and has also been working with the Cambridge Police Department. HUPD officers cannot patrol Garden Street or Cambridge Common, the location of recent robberies, because the jurisdiction for those areas belongs to the city of Cambridge. HUPD officers in those areas must be in transit, on foot or bike, Assistant Dean...
