How were arrests conducted on campus?
Officers receive extensive training on appropriate use of force. In the case of those arrests made on campus today, officers took extra efforts to not be disruptive of the campus environment while ensuring safety. Officers attempted to contact as many suspects as possible early in the morning while they were still at home. A “knock, notice and enter” approach was used: officers with search and arrest warrants knock on the suspect’s door, identify themselves, and take the suspect into custody. Each group of plain clothes officers was accompanied by a university officer in uniform.
