By Ashley Zuzek | October 21, 2005

S&S predicts trouble, steps up patrols

By Phil Salinger | October 21, 2005

Whenever a thousand college freshmen sprint around a massive fire, law enforcement officials tend to take extra precaution. As the bonfire burns this Friday evening, Hanover Police and Safety and Security will be taking extensive measures to protect the safety of students and to catch anybody who takes the festivities too far. Hanover Police plans to staff between 20 and 25 personnel on and around the Green during the fire, which will entail pulling officers from other jurisdictions such as Lebanon and New London, Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone said. In order to improve efficiency, police will set up a makeshift processing station just off the Green so that any officer who makes an arrest will not have to waste his time bringing the assailant all the way back to police headquarters. The Green-side station will allow police to get a preliminary identification of the subject and of the arresting officer before the officer hands the individual over to the station, allowing the officer to return to the fire, Giaccone said. Safety and Security will also increase its presence, as every one of their patrol officers will be working that evening, College Proctor Harry Kinne said. On top of the slew of Safety and Security officers on duty, the College has also hired personnel from Green Mountain Security, a private security company, to assist as the freshmen stampede around the fire.
