Claflin University is small but mighty. It's a wonderful school filled with great opportunities. Although there are many good points about Claflin, campus security is a major problem. Claflin's students spend too much money on and off campus to be scared to go anywhere by ourselves. Throughout this semester numerous bad events have taken place, such as the Karbaris Davis event and burglaries. They should do a better job in order to stop certain events that occur on this campus. In order for Claflin students to feel safer on campus Claflin security needs to provide better trained security officers, install more lights and cameras, and check the identification cards of anyone coming on campus before August 2015.
Throughout this semester, Claflin University security officers have been very short staffed. Around campus students see the same ones every single day. As a small intuition Claflin should have more security guards especially at night time. Many burglaries have accord in Claflin's student parking lot. Since the university is small the campus needs to hire way more security officers. By doing this they will lower the risk of another student getting robbed throughout the night. Even during the day the campus should have security around the school instead of everyone at the front entrance of the school. Security at the side entrance of the campus should be available to students during the day and at night time. The campus should hire night guards so in case something goes wrong they are a lot closer rather than the front security officers. .
The campus needs to install more lights and cameras around the campus. The lights in certain areas are horrible. Dunton Hall is one of the girl's dorms on campus with very bad lighting especially at the back of the building. Since the lighting is so bad many people have broken into this dorm numerous times while people have been sleep. This is where the security should have come in and stopped certain events from taken place.
