The Tulane Department of Public Safety enthusiastically approves of the New Orleans Police Department's campaign against illegal drug activity in our city. We further applaud their work to arrest and prosecute the drug buyer. Middleclass recreational drug users account for a huge market for illegal drugs. Reducing the demand will reduce drug violence. A friend's usage is directly related to the grief and loss of family members of innocent people killed or injured by drug violence.
Party drugs are also accountable for added danger to our law enforcement officers.
Students who are arrested for buying and using drugs could lose a scholarship, forfeit personal property and have a criminal record. We ask students to join with the people of New Orleans to have a safe city. Don't use drugs and avoid people who offer drugs to others. Learn more about drug use, addiction and intervention strategies. Clergy and counselors help While clergy and professional counselors are exempt from reporting crime incidents reported to them by students, faculty or staff members, Public Safety encourages both parties to report the incidents for statistical purposes, excluding any identifying information on the involved parties.
