As a worker at Baker University Center, I was extremely disturbed to find out that as one of my fellow employees got off work at 2 a.m., her car window was smashed in and the police failed to assist her. In a dark alley at 2 a.m., the Athens Police took their time in assuring her safety as it took about 45 minutes to arrive to her vehicle. I'm sure they had their hands full with the Halloween festivities to bother paying attention to a young girl who needed help in a dark alley. So while the arrests of Halloween this year were lowered, so was the safety enforcement of the police. I'm glad to know that they will be concerned as much as to arrive on their own time if I am ever stranded in a dark alley, for apparently busting underage drinkers is their top priority.
