"CycleVision" motorcycle mounted video cameras
From: The University of Arizona Police Department
To: University of Arizona Community
The University of Arizona Police Department will has begun using mounted digital cameras on marked department motorcycles and cares. UAPD is the first law enforcement agency in Southern Arizona to utilize "CycleVision" motorcycle mounted digital video cameras.
Digital Video Cameras have become a useful tool in Public Safety. CycleVision will enable motorcycle patrols to record the same video and audio evidence that patrol care capture. This enables the officer to visually and audibly record contacts with the public. Additionally, it can show that the officer's work complies with department policies and procedures and accepted best practices for law enforcement action. The video evidence also serves to document the accuracy of details surrounding an incident.
The purchase of video equipment for four motorcycles was made possible through a grant awarded by the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety.

Abduction near campus
A Message to students from the UAPD
A female University of Arizona student reported that she was recently taken against her will by three males in a white van while walking at night on Campbell Avenue adjacent to campus. She further reported that she was released unharmed a short time later in the vicinity from which she was originally taken. She described the occupants of the van as two white males and one Hispanic male. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call 9-1-1 or 88-crime.
The University of Arizona Police Department would like to take this opportunity to strongy encourage you to utilize good safety and security practices when in public and at home. Please see the safety tips listed below for ideas on how to improve your personal safety habits and remember to always dial 9-1-1 if you witness suspicious activity or persons in the area.
1. Remain alert and aware of your surroundings and the people in your vicinity at al times.
2. Save important phone calls for a later time. Talking on cell phones or using other electronic devices when walking, biking, or driving are distractions and divert your attention away from your surroundings.
3. At night, travel in well-lighted areas. Utilize Safe Ride, Safe Walk and Night Cat services to avoid walking alone at night.
4. Emergency blue light phones give you direct access to UAPD with the push of a button. Know where they are located at all times.
5. Always keep the windows and doors of your home and garage locked whether you are home or not.
6. Utilize outdoor lighting at your home to eliminate the possibility that a potential intruder could hide in shadowed areas.
7. Keep your telephone close by at all times so that it is easily accessible if you must call for assistance.
8. Never second guess yourself if you think you should call police about a suspicious person or incident. If someone or something gives you a funny feeling or makes you look twice, don't hesitate to report it to police.

Message from ASUA President Fritze regarding the ZonaZoo Entrance Policy
To: UA Community Members
From: Emily Fritze, ASUA president
Re: ZonaZoo entrance policy
On behalf of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA) ZonaZoo team, I would like to express my appreciation of the energy and spirit that students have shown the past few games in Arizona Stadium. The electric environment of the student section is a statement to the pride and tradition found here at the University of Arizona.
The largest challenge of the season has been the build up of students in front of the ZonaZoo section prior to game time. As we continue to have a successful football season, the dmand of students to attend games will only increase. However, it is important that ZonaZoo students are made aware of the ZonaZoo entrance policy – WHICH STATES THAT ADMISSION TO FOOTBALL GAMES IS NOT GUARANTEED – when they buy the pass. It is recommended that students arrive as early as possible to increase their chance of securing a seat.
A copy of the ZonaZoo entrance policy is also available on the ZonaZoo and Arizona Athletics websites. Below is the link to this policy for your review.
http://www.arizonawildcats.com/ot/zona-zoo-member-benefits.html
In consideration of the events, ASUA is working closely with Arizona Athletics to ensure the safety of students. As a result, ZonaZoo will now allow students to start entering the stadium four hours prior to kick off or when the student demand indicates a need to open up the section and other amenities. We hope that this will relieve the build up of students and allow for a safe entrance into the game.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the success of our Aythletics programs here at the University of Arizona.
Bear Down with pride,
Emily Fritze

Burglar targeting women near U of A
There have been recent burglaries in the U of A area and authorities have reported that the burglar is targeting women who live along near the U of A area and is "sexually motivated."
The Tucson Police Department says the suspect is in his 20s and is probably conducting surveillance of the victims' homes prior to entering. The burglaries normally take place between midnight and 4 a.m.
For students who are the victims of these crimes or anyone who feels they need someone to talk with concerning these events – and any incident of sexual assault – there are many resources on campus that can help. A list of these resources, which include the OASIS Program Against Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS),the Dean of Students Office and the University of Arizona Police Department, can be found on the SafeCats Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/uasafecats#p/u/5/wepwbd0o-6Q.
