There's lots I could write about this week (September is National Campus Safety Awareness month, the Walk for Civility was a good first step, the University Police have been awarded the Governor's Crime Prevention Award again), but since time is passing, and we are still in the "Red Zone" for sexual assaults, let me concentrate on date rape drugs. It is not believed that date rape drugs are prevalent in this area. Several of the suspected cases I am familiar with boiled down eventually to just too much alcohol, sometimes in the presence of anti-depressants or other drugs that the victim was legally taking. But that does not mean that prevention should be taken lightly. You should never drink from a punchbowl, or accept a drink that someone else has poured for you. You should only drink from a factory-sealed bottle or can that you have opened. Even a bartender could adulterate your beverage, especially someone who is not a professional bartender but is only working casually. Never leave your beverage unattended, while you dance, go the to the restroom, or even for the briefest moment. Of course, if you are under 21, the beverages I am talking about are non-alcoholic! There are several substances loosely characterized as date-rape drugs. If you are a victim, you should get to a hospital as soon as possible. Depending on the drug, it can be detected for up to 24 hours in your blood, and up to 96 hours in your urine. The University Police are here to help you, and we will not charge a sexual assault victim with an underage drinking offense, so you should never hesitate to call us.
