According to the AVC Sheriff’s Department, the crime rate at the college has been going down significantly.

The Sheriffs are very impressed with the students abiding by AVC’s no smoking on campus rule. They have seen an improvement with students smoking in the parking lot and are looking to reward them with something like gold stars.

Bicycles are also coming to campus for the Sheriffs and are currently in the shop getting new decals and other assets.

Yet the recent hype of drug dogs coming to campus has come to a halt. Drug dogs will no longer be coming to AVC because the Sheriffs are questioning the validity of the dogs’ ability to track down students with marijuana; if it were to happen, it would be an invasion of privacy.
