Off Topic on Buffalo Wild Wings

An employee had a gun pointed at her, tazed twice, tied up and had her purse stolen but no one was hurt and all is well. ???

He kind of has a point here guys! Just having a gun pointed at you could be bad enough. She will be scarred for quite some time.

Let's agree these scumbags need to see the inside of a jail cell for quite some time.
 
here is my question... I listened to this unfold on the scanner, and have to wonder why it took so long for the students to get this text message? The suspect had been on campus for nearly an hour before we went into "lockdown". What is the point of lockdown if we give the bad guys an hour to mingle?

You know the University has to have some officials thinking the same thing. I'm glad this ended up not being a danger to the BU community and will hopefully allow some administrators to crack down and find out why it took so long. I understand it's 2:40am, but the incident happened way earlier than that... I don't care that it's the middle of the night -- BU students should have received the message way earlier!

Several RA's notified the appropriate HD's (and their friends who live in Tucson and have to get up in the morning...) so security in the dorms was on the lookout and well aware of the situation. Those who have permission to send forewarn messages are unfortunately few and far between, so getting a message out at night is difficult... something that really needs to be looked at.

.. I'd think there should be a Bradley security officer with that access (Do Bradley buildings have "take cover" alarms for tornados that security is already responsible for?)

I think the problem came with the number of students that went outside to see what was going on. I didn't go out there because I live on the other side of campus but from what I've been told, there were a lot of students leaving their dorms and what not to go check it out.

Hopefully this will get looked at because a lot of us feel that we should've gotten a message earlier in the night.

I happened to be at Campustown last night around 6:30 picking up some wings at the Fieldhouse and heard them testing the "Bradley Emergency Notification" system over a very loud speaker system. Not sure if this is brand new or something put in place because of this particular event, but it seemed like it would certainly do the job alongside any other notification process.
 
It's not new because of this situation. They test that thing all of the time. It's particularly annoying when I'm trying to sleep across the street from the speakers on top of SAC.
 
Actually Central Communications Department (Work Control/Campus Police/Switchboard) has authority to send forewarn texts 24/7 when given the ok by a Campus Police Officer. I'm not sure of the delay to get this text out but I know a couple other calls were going on at the same time. I man the shack part time and had the pleasure of sending 1 tornado text last December.

The campus wide audio system is called Fireworks. It monitors the fire alarm system and we also have the ability to send campus wide audio messages or building/floor specific messages. This was also used during the tornado warning last December.

Agreed with that statement, however, according to a couple BU officials/officers who will remain nameless, all statements sent out over BU forewarn save weather and tests are to be run through JoJo personally...
 
It used to be that way before they installed the system with us. It is a big news event when one of the pages goes out, so all the facts of the event have to be bonafide. Usually the ok comes from a person of authority (Officer, PD Chief, PIO). This is the first time it's been used for a crime situation, i'm sure some kinks will be worked out.
