Hey there, sweeties! It’s your girl, Tiffani Blake here, bringing you the hottest scoop straight from the desk of the fab and fierce Captain Alani Hunter over at Columtreal University Police Department!
I popped in for a quick chat with the captain, and trust me, what started as a sugary treat (I brought her my award-winning panda donut, y’all!) turned into one serious convo about campus safety. Grab your latté, because you’ll definitely want to hear this!
So, picture this: Captain Hunter just rolls in after grabbing some bites at Murphy’s (yum!), and she’s immediately thrown into the middle of chaos at the station. Two of the “guests” (umm, criminals, babes) were making the place smell like a barn! Gross, right? But, like the pro she is, Captain Hunter handled it with style, whisking me away into her office for a private chat. And let me tell you, sweetie, the tea was piping hot!
Let’s talk deets! Right off the bat, I had to ask the burning question on all of our minds: “What’s CUPD doing about the recent assaults on campus?” I know we’re all a little rattled after those incidents, but here’s the lowdown straight from the source: one predator’s been caught and expelled, and another one? Arrested just this morning, babes! Justice served, yas queen!
But let’s get real for a sec — just catching these creeps isn’t enough. So, I pressed Captain Hunter on what changes we’ll be seeing. Her answer? A Zero Tolerance policy, honey. Like, zilch, nada, absolutely no room for that kind of behaviour on campus. “We want to make sure Columtreal is safe for everyone,” she said, her voice as firm as her commitment to keeping us all safe. But—there’s always a but, right?—she reminded me that no police force can be everywhere at once. And here’s where it gets a little real: we’ve got to do our part, too! Captain Hunter dropped some wisdom, y’all: See something? Say something!
That’s right, hun! If you see anything shady, don’t stay silent. It’s up to us, the students, to report what’s going on. She even hinted that the campus is stepping up patrols and bringing in more options for self-defence classes. Like, hello, empowering much?
Safety Tips from the Top! Now, ladies (and gents!): I had to get some personal advice from Captain Hunter, who’s not just a boss at CUPD but also a young woman herself! What can we do to stay safe? Her tips were pure gold, babes: Stick together! Whether you’re heading to a party or just walking across campus, don’t go alone. Grab a bestie or two and stay in groups. Be aware! Don’t have your face buried in your phone while walking around (guilty, oops!). Stay alert and be conscious of your surroundings. Get involved! There’s a public safety academy coming this semester. Why not learn some self-defense moves? I mean, who doesn’t want to feel like a total badass while kicking butt?
Finally, sweeties, don’t forget—CUPD is here for us, but we’ve gotta be here for ourselves, too! As Captain Hunter said, it’s not just a Columtreal issue, it’s a global one. So, let’s look out for each other, report anything suspicious, and, as always, stay fabulous. Oh, and btw, I may have left Captain Hunter with my fab pastry card for some gluten-free donut love. So, you never know, babes—next time you see her, she might just have a little Tiffani treat in hand! Until next time, lovelies—stay safe, stay sassy, and remember, your girl Tiff’s got your back (and all the gossip!) Xoxo, Tiffani Blake Observer & Columtreal University’s It-Girl Journalist
