Valid point, but there were more than 4 instances that are documented. BTW, I have zero tolerarance for partying college students when they are inebriated causing problems. What got my attention is that there were actual meetings between the University student body, Security Personnel and the Scranton, PD.

We learned to document while on the job. If you do not document, it did not happen. When this type of stuff was going on.......and we had to deal with NYU students/Columbia Students.....

And, thirdly you know what they say, believe nothing of what you hear only what you see.

They earn twice as much (or more) than enlisted guys going to Iraq... and their retirement benefits are better too.

That doesn't mean that the police should be paid less, it just means that the troops should be paid more.

That's true. I've been reading posts recently about teachers, police, turnpike/toll jobs, retirement benefits, educational requirements. It's not a level playing field; no one ever said that it was. It seems that the world is off kilter when a waiter in a popular restaurant makes more money than a firefighter or a hospice nurse.
