Rash of vehicle burglaries hits NLC area

Did you know that in every NLC hallway there is at least one emergency call box? Not many students are aware of this, so Chief Chris Drake has implemented a signage campaign.

Above every call box is a large red sign that reads,“ EMERGENCY PHONE, AUTODIAL, POLICE WILL RESPOND.”

Emergency call boxes in the parking lots are set on poles and accented with bright blue lights.

Parking
Finally, NLC has expanded parking. The new southwest parking lot is located by the T Building, and there are 423 new spaces available. According to Chief Drake there should not be any reason for students to park in the grass this semester. If students are found violating parking regulations, they will be subject to a citation.

So, come on guys, let’s utilize the new parking instead of parking in the grass just because it is closer to your class.

Good-byes
Just as Officer Chris Lance was awarded Officer of the Year, we discovered he was leaving the NLCPD. So, good luck, Chris, in your new role as Inspector Gadget with the Flower Mound Police Department. We will miss you.
