If TESC agrees to allow signage from 'Safe Olympia' to be posted at the campus, this is consent or an agreement from TESC that OPD will have a presence on campus, jurisdiction, on top of the police force we have. 'Safe Olympia' is a service OPD provides to businesses downtown Olympia. Here on campus, we already have a police force in place.

Everything was true and part of the official page...except the last line. Could we please have some FACTS about your statement? Or should we be sheeple and just agree with this without the facts first.

It's not the OPD that needs to enforce a safer campus for Evergreen students but the Evergreen administration itself that needs to find ways to disavow anti-LGBTQ attitudes. Inviting the OPD to have jurisdiction at the Evergreen campus always opens up the possibility of malpractice by the city's law enforcement that will no doubt put vulnerable populations on campus at greater risk, especially to students of color. Do not let this effort be a successful form of "pinkwashing" by the OPD and Evergreen's own reluctance to provide its own accountability to LGBTQ students.

We have our own police force on campus that require training when it comes to LGBTQ+ students and staff. I'd rather work on them first before inviting another entity on our campus!

Evergreen State College already has its own polic force. It does NOT need more law enforcement on an ACADEMIC institution. I have NEVER felt safe with an increased police force and I am a veteran.

the idea of having a police presence on campus, a force that have endangered the lives of my friends, even one of my professors, is disgusting. this move would do too much to intensify the structural racism and white supremacist presence that's already on campus.

As a woman of color who identifies as two-spirit or Mahu. I do not feel safe allowing, Olympia Police Department here on campus. I've been harassed numerously throughout my time in Lacey and Olympia just, for having a Polynesian tribal sticker on my vehicle. I came to Evergreen to further my education and to feel safe. Adding another police force/entity here will only increase stress and anxiety. Specifically, speaking as a student of color a minority. The Olympia Police Department with recent events, has not been safe when dealing with LGBTQ+ harassment and Queer and Trans* People of Color.
