Children’s Bicycles and Helmets Needed

November 28, 2011 - Campus Community Police, in partnership with a research project by Professor Alan Salmoni from Kinesiology, are requesting faculty and staff at Western donate children’s bicycles and helmets in support of a project to teach elementary school children in grades 6 to 8 how to ride bikes safely. A total of 30 bikes and helmets are needed. The project focuses around the fact that in Canada bike accidents are a leading cause of brain injury and mortality in this age group.   If you have a bicycle (wheel/rim sizes 16”-24”) that your children no longer use and you would like to help a good cause, please bring your bike to the Campus Police office in Lawson Hall during daytime hours between Dec. 5^th and 9^th.  After the bikes have been used for safety training they will be given to needy children who do not have a bike of their own.

Thanks for your support

Break and Enters

October 24, 2011 - Over the last couple of months there have been approximately 100 Break and Enters to residences near Western.   The usual pattern is for the suspect to enter residences, while persons are sleeping between 3 and 6 a.m., through an open window, unlocked door or by slitting the screen in a door and checking if the inside door is locked  and entering if it isn’t locked.   Screens in windows are also slit in some cases to gain entry.  In some cases entry is made during daylight hours.  Residents are asked to record serial numbers of lap-tops and cameras, keep doors and windows locked, and report suspicious persons or activities to London Police at 911.
