EMERGENCY GUIDE/TORNADO WARNING:

bullet Avoid the Gym or Auditorium or any large space with free span roofs.
bullet If caught outside, go quickly to the bottom level in the nearest building.  If not possible, get as close to a building or structure and lie flat on your stomach with your arms covering your head area.
bullet If in an automobile, get out immediately and follow the same rules as above.

THE ADVENTURES OF OFFICER BOB

Counterfeit Charlie was arrested for shoplifting. He had $900 in his pocket, which would have covered what he stole. Judge Janice put his bail at $400, which he paid with the cash he had in his pocket. Officer Bob later discovered the money was bogus. Before Officer Bob could track him down, Counterfeit Charlie returned to argue that he overpaid and wanted half his money back. Officer Bob arrested Counterfeit Charlie on the spot.

FIREFIGTHER FLO asks that we all work to ELIMINATE FIRE HAZZARDS:

 

“Storage of bikes, chairs, desks and other items is prohibited in all exit ways. Only use approved security bars on windows”

 

___________________________________________________________

PARKING APPEAL EXCUSE OF THE MONTH: “I wasn’t aware of the speed limit on campus. It was fairly new to me and I had no warning even before the ticket. I think a warning should be given first.”

                                                           

 

When traveling on campus, QCCPD asks that you do not drive too closely because anything can happen.
