Public Safety officers respond to many calls for service. However we would like to keep the college community informed.  Here are some of the notable incidents from this month.

On July 30, a Public Safety officer observed a person removing scrap metal at the Truax Campus. The officer approached the subject and asked him what he was doing. The subject attempted to drive away when the other Public Safety Officers arrived on scene.  One officer was dragged a short distance while attempting to apprehend the subject. With the help of another officer the subject was later removed from the vehicle and restrained. Madison Police Department arrested the subject for theft, disorderly conduct, felony bail jumping, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The Public Safety officer sustained minor injuries and has since returned to full duty.

On July 1, Public Safety officers responded to a female patient who was having an unknown medical emergency.  Public Safety officers rendered aid until Madison Paramedics arrived and transported the patient.
