You just have to make sure everyone is focused and everyone is motivated." The relationship between the students and the police force, Lovette said, has become less antagonistic in recent years. She said when she first joined the staff there were several calls where students would host parties with more than 300 people present. “When you got that many people, regardless whether there are really problems or not, there is a problem. And you are responding with two, three, four officers.” Now, she said, the parties are much smaller with some noise complaints and fights outside bars. But there are not as many disturbances as there were in the past. Lovette said if students are involved with a crime, alcohol is usually present. The most common violation is underage possession or consumption. “We have people going to bars, getting extremely intoxicated or are already extremely intoxicated before they go to the bars,” Lovette said. “We have had a few assaults but those are relatively minor and relatively few.” She said one of the issues with policing a campus community is the lack of life experience in the students. “They are just now getting to where they are on their own and responsible for their own consequences,” Lovette said. “And I will say the students tiere at Elon are really great kids. But I think sometimes alcohol gets in the way and they make stupid decisions. On a law enforcement standpoint everything we do that involves students is because of alcohol issues and it is prevalent here.” THE TOP 5 LOCATIONS ELOM POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE RESPONDED TO SINCE 2005 660 Manning Ave.: Police dispatched 68 times in five years TTte £dar park I* loceM less mte from Ekxi Unwsrty.
