The Virginia Commonwealth University Police Department is playing a visible role in welcoming students to the fall 2010 semester. Officers are discussing safety topics and crime prevention tips at dorm meetings and “meet and greet” activities as part of VCU Welcome Week 2010.

Police are also offering opportunities for students to register their bicycles, computers and other personal property.

The line was steady for a bicycle registration opportunity on Monday, Aug. 23, in front of Hibbs Hall. 

“I’ve seen police at some of the Welcome Week activities,” said first-year student Lauren Davis. “They had a booth and I talked to them briefly. I feel safe on campus with the police being so active.”

Police will hold additional sessions at the Larrick Student Center from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 25, and at the VCU Student Commons Plaza from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 26, and at the same location on Friday, Aug. 27, from 10 a.m. until noon.

Students also may register their bicycles at VCU Police Headquarters, 938 W. Grace St.
