Morris Brown Campus Police Under Investigation

[usa today]

ATLANTA -- The president of Morris Brown College says he's launching a full investigation into alleged wrongdoing uncovered by Channel 2 Action News.

Channel 2 Action News has learned that the college's police department is under state investigation, accused of employing officers just to work off-duty jobs.

Channel 2 investigative reporter Jodie Fleischer found many of those officers have troubled pasts, or may not even be real officers at all.

The Morris Brown College campus only spans about three blocks and enrollment has dwindled to just 63 students. But according to Georgia’s Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council, the campus police department employs 27 certified police officers. Fleischer found several more working at the school's police headquarters who are not on that list.

“That’s way out of line,â€￾ said POST Director Ken Vance. "For 60 something students, they ought to have one walking hand in hand with them from class to class."

I didn't realize an institution could be open with that many students so how do the teachers get paid or are they on call when the job opens up? But make no mistake about it I feel it is a great institution without all the students I was just wondering.

SU was about 10,000 strong when I was there and we didn't have anywhere near 27 campus officers.

I hate to see folks get shut down, but the writing was on the wall at MBC a long time ago.

Unfortunately, you're right. It just makes me so mad to see those kids have to suffer from the incompetence of the administrators, faculty, staff. And liljr is right, too......it makes me even madder when I see it's our own kind doing this mess.
