<p>Printout of email after the explanation:
The Daily Princetonian Newspaper was not allowed to web update about this during the Princeton Pre Frosh weekend, but what occurred this weekend was an inevitable result of the VERY little policing of the Princeton campus. Public Safety officers are notorious for shutting down parties on weekends before midnight, but on weekday nights and on weekends in areas where there are no parties, PSafe officers are nowhere to be found.
A close friend sprained his ankle walking home from the library on a wednesday night (sober, obviously). It was pretty bad bc he is an athlete and even he could not physically move from the ground. It took more than an hour before he saw A SOUL on the main walkway of campus, and even then it was not a PSafe officer but a friend. The point is, why is there no roaming of the campus by public safety officers at night making sure everything is all right?</p>
<p>Another example: Many Prox pads (the keyless entry system ensuring only students can access buildings) are broken or torn off for days until a student reports it. These "reports" are even in the Princeton Public Safety public logs. So, here is the frightening question....why didn't a PSafe officer even NOTICE a main safety feature missing for days? Had they not walked past the building?</p>
<p>When there was a gunman scare, most students I have spoken to agreed that we are NOT scared of a gunman on campus, or student violence, but rather the shadiness of campus at.</p>
<h2>Best part of this letter is that they acknowledge that there was basically no patroling at night. Be careful of Princeton----it is of course very safe, but this isn't the point. The administration allows a level of incompetency in everything they do that is just ridiculous and stage MASS COVERUPS during pre-frosh weekend.</h2>
<p>Here is the message received by students during pre frosh weekend. All incidents of this sort are reported to the daily princetonian web update.....not this one though:
The Department of Public Safety is alerting community members of an ongoing investigation concerning reported incidents of lewdness.</p>
<p>In separate incidents at approximately 2 and 2:39 a.m. on Saturday, April 18, 2009, two Princeton University female students reported a male was masturbating and exposed his genital area to them while they were walking alone across campus. The first incident took place as the victim was walking on McCosh Walk toward the University Store and the suspect was on the steps between Buyers and Witherspoon halls. The victim said she also saw the suspect earlier in the evening near 1879 Hall and the School of Architecture, where he was masturbating as he walked behind her. The second victim reported that she saw the suspect near the first entry of 1879 Hall, where he exposed himself. The victim said the suspect ran toward Washington Road toward Nassau Street. The suspect did not come into direct contact with either victim.</p>
<p>The suspect was described by the two female students as a Hispanic male, approximately 29 years of age, 6'2 in height, curly hair, wearing a blue and black fleece zip-up jacket, blue jeans and brown shoes.</p>
<p>The Department of Public Safety continues to investigate this incident, will increase foot patrols around the campus in the evening hours and asks that any community member who has relevant information contact the department by calling (609) 258-1000 or via a confidential tip line on our website: <a href="https://tipline.princeton.edu/%5B/url%5D">https://tipline.princeton.edu/</a>.</p>
<p>To maintain the safety and security of the campus, the Department of Public Safety reminds all community members to follow the crime prevention tips listed on our website (Public</a> Safety), including:</p>
