Both institutions reflected similar situations and results. Howell expects that the trailer will be received with the same positive effects by staff, students and especially the surrounding community as it was with MUSC administration supporting the Department of Public Safety and its concern with the campus and its neighbors. Howell said the entire force will be trained in the use and operation of the trailer and it will be premiered at the Law Enforcement Day celebration, Sept. 16 at Northwoods Mall. The trailer is built very ruggedly, it has high-security locks on the storage box and the aperture that raises the display box and an axle lock that prevents the unit from being moved or rolled. The structure itself is also coated in graffiti-resistant paint.
People are just more in a hurry than in the past.
Speeding is a conscious decision on the part of the driver and people are just more inclined to get to where they are going in much more of a rush than they used to be. It has gotten very aggressive out there, Howell said. Attaining and implementing the trailer was a self-initiative to maintain order and promote roadway safety decreasing driving situations. As a campus, we are a small part of a greater community. We are simply trying to be good neighbors.
