College, NHCLU, police agree on internal possession policy: Police would take students into custody and then call College

By Michael Ross | February 17, 1995

The New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, the Hanover Police Department and the College have come to a tentative agreement over the "internal possession" controversy that will give the College a greater role in dealing with undergraduate inebriates. Attorney Steve Borofsky, who represented the NHCLU in the negotiations, called the solution an "overhaul of the HPD protocol." He described the changes as a combination of procedural modifications and increased College involvement. Borofsky said under the agreement, Hanover Police would stop forcing students to take breathalyzer tests and would inform students of their rights to refuse a breathalyzer test. In addition, Borofsky said police would place nonviolent suspects into protective custody rather than arresting them and would inform the College of their offense. Hanover Police Sergeant Chris O'Connor confirmed that an agreement had been reached, but declined to comment on the details. "After a number of meetings there was an agreement" on an alcohol policy, O'Connor said.

Our foster daughter loved the program by the Flirtations, and I and my wife were thrilled by the initiative of the committee on diversity at the Ray school to bring them there.
