Officers Joseph Glasser, left, and Edward Teller visit with students Tuesday on
the first day of the Campus Safety bike patrol. Besides the obvious benefits to community
relations, the bike officers are especially suited to respond quickly to emergencies on
the pedestrian-based campus, according to William Sickinger, director of Campus Safety.
The bike patrols also are expected to play an important role in the College Park
neighborhood to the west of campus, where the College and city have begun the
Union-Schenectady Initiative.
