Burglaries almost quadrupled, and drug and alcohol offenses nearly doubled on campus from 2010 to 2011, according to the University’s 2012 Annual Security and Fire Report released Friday.

The LSU Police Department saw 80 reports of criminal offenses last year and had 49 in 2010, an increase of 63 percent.

Of those 80 reports in 2011, 47 were burglaries, nearly four times the 13 reports seen in 2010. Out of 47, 31 were from University residential facilities, compared to two in 2010.

LSUPD also made 308 drug and alcohol arrests last year compared to 155 in 2010, a 98.7 percent increase.

Forcible sex offenses dropped from five in 2010 to two in 2011.

The Security and Fire Report is mandated under the Campus Security Act.

Part of the increase in burglaries can be attributed to a burglary spike in West Campus Apartments in November 2011 involving a non-student, according to LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde.

He said “roughly 20 incidents” happened during that time period.

During the same month, LSUPD also saw a number of burglaries at the fraternity houses, Lalonde said. He said fraternities were stealing things from one another, but he didn’t specify how many incidents occurred.

Lalonde also credited an increase in reports to the “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign, started in 2011. Finally, he said the dramatic increase in drug arrests has stemmed from Meggie, LSUPD’s drug-sniffing canine, who joined the force in 2011. Before Meggie arrived, the department only had two bomb-sniffing dogs.

“We’ve gotten more proactive with the narcotics canine,” Lalonde said.

He added that the majority of the drug crimes come from marijuana and ADHD medication arrests, and he doesn’t think more people on campus are doing drugs — LSUPD is just catching more of them.

Lalonde said there were certain criteria for what offenses were put on the report and some were left off, like bicycle thefts.

For example, 2011 saw 51 bike thefts as opposed to 101 in 2010.

“[In 2011], we took more proactive measures and made several arrests,” he said.

Crime numbers for 2012 have not been compiled yet, Lalonde said.

While crime reports have increased, students say they feel safe around most parts of campus.

“I’ve never had any real problems,” said mechanical engineering freshman Rodrigo Rodriguez.

He said the only time he’s felt unsafe was walking near the Music and Dramatic Arts Building at night because the area is dark.

Political science sophomore Kristin Landreneau had similar sentiments.

“I feel all right,” she said. “At night I feel less safe.”

She said the area around Chimes Street seems less safe than the rest of campus.

Landreneau added that she felt safe when she lived in McVoy Hall last year.

“I thought the swipe was iffy, but each floor had its own lock, and I felt safer,” she said.
