<p>I was very impressed with the security at Tulane.
The Tulane security are "REAL" police officers with guns, hand cuffs, etc.
They can arrest anyone in the city limits of New Orleans. Many are former police officers from New Orleans or other cities. I wish I could remember the exact # of officers. I want to say 40 or so but that may be wrong. There are always 4 police cars on duty. New Orleans allows the Tulane police force to patrol a one mile radius in every direction from the campus of Tulane. Therefore, neighborhoods adjacent to Tulane are patrolled by the city of New Orleans as well as the Tulane police.
The patrols are 24/7.
Between the hours of 8pm and 4am, the Tulane police department also gives free rides to and from any establishment within a certain # of blocks from Tulane (maybe 10, I can't recall). Within that radius is everything you need and maybe some you don't (lol..like 10 bars). last year the Tulane police department gave over 58,000 rides to students.
Furthermore, if a student finds themselves separated from their group or feels they are in trouble, the student can call the Tulane Police Department and they will pick the student up anywhere in the city.
If a student request an escort on campus from one building to the next, the Tulane Police will walk the student from any building on campus to another building.
Tulane also has a very impressive # of emergency phone call boxes located very short distances apart on the periphery of the Tulane campus.
Tulane security is in a league of its own.</p>
