Waco Police Department says choosing a safe Halloween costume is another vital consideration. Costumes should allow for easy movement, and masks or wigs that could impair vision should be avoided. Additionally, it’s wise to steer clear of fake weapons or items that might resemble real weapons, as these can create misunderstandings and cause alarm among others.

Clayton, Calif. junior Ben Williamson said he is concerned about the lack of public safety in neighborhoods surrounding Baylor. Williamson said even a small boost in security could potentially lessen crime in the areas that students inhabit.

The Baylor Police Department is currently investigating five scooter thefts that took place on and around campus in the last month. The thefts took place between Feb. 27 and March 23, and assistant chief of BUPD Don Rodman said that among these five thefts, there have been few commonalities or linking traits.

Rodman said in the event that a vehicle is stolen, the owner should first file a report with their local police department in a timely manner. Next, victims should work with their car insurance company to determine the next steps, as insurance coverage can determine a variety of things, such as obtaining a rental car.
