UT - Fort Sanders Safety Day

Recent crime events have prompted increased patrols by the KPD and UTPD, including joint patrol cars. Please, if you notice anything suspicious or out of the ordinary, DO NOT hesitate to call emergency 911 and request KPD and UT investigate. Non-emergency numbers (KPD: 215-4010, UTPD: 974-3114) are available for non-threatening incidents.

The University is taking these recent events VERY seriously. As such, Chancellor Crabtree and the University have invited our neighborhood residents to participate in a Fort Sanders Safety Day. Here is the official word including the schedule for Dec 3:
