Have a Happy 4th from Campus Police!
Campus Police hopes everyone enjoys celebrating our country's independence this weekend! But first, a few reminders. Fireworks are illegal in many of the communities within our service area. This year, dry conditions have made them even more dangerous. Instead of putting on your own show, enjoy the professional exhibits. Always buckle up and use a designated driver.
