No one will just not respond to a crime, especially with the rise in crime this school year. But [the labor complaint] is self-serving -- New Haven officers don't want to lose job security. |
The New Haven Police union's issue is what is theirs and what is ours. Our overall goal is the same -- to keep people safe -- but there is a discrepancy over jurisdiction. You can't make steadfast rules because crime does not follow rules. |
There are fuzzy areas. Certain crimes occur on parts of streets that are not Yale property, but the Yale Police Department has authority throughout the city. |
