The LSU Police Department saw fewer drug and alcohol offenses and burglaries in 2010 than in past years, according to annual crime statistics released Thursday.
The statistics were divided into four different crime categories — on campus, off campus, at residential facilities and on public property.
Only 13 burglaries were reported on campus in 2010, compared to 31 in 2009 and 99 in 2008.
Forcible sexual offenses on campus have not seen much change in past years. In 2010, five were reported on campus, with two occurring in residential facilities.
But aggravated assault has increased on campus. Four incidents were reported in 2008, 17 in 2009 and 10 in 2010.
LSUPD officers made 102 alcohol-related arrests in 2010, compared to 219 in 2009. Fewer drug arrests were also made.
