Dear Rutgers University – New Brunswick Community Members,
In light of last evening’s robberies that were described in a Crime Alert, the Rutgers University Police Department (RUPD) has initiated a strategic patrol plan which includes the addition of RUPD officers in the 2nd, 5th and 6th wards of New Brunswick. Therefore, beginning tonight you will see an increased public safety presence adjacent to the College Avenue and Cook / Douglass Campuses. The investigation into the three robberies that occurred last evening is on-going and we are coordinating investigative efforts with the New Brunswick Police Department. Lastly, the RUPD continues to provide security escorts upon request and the phone number to request that service is (732)932-7211. Should you choose to request this service, please plan a few minutes ahead so our public safety personnel have ample time to meet you at your location.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Cop
Executive Director of Public Safety
Chief of University Police
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
