Police officers check doors’ and windows ofoff-campus apart ments and houses three times a day. “Visibility helps to deter crime,” Ingle said. The officers are required to check the residences during their shifts, but there is no set time or pattern to make it easy for bur glars to break-in, Ingle said. Cusatis said he would use the ser vice in the future. There is no charge for the service, Ingle said.
