As the fall semester gets underway, hit-and-runs are keeping the Los Rios Police Department busy at Sacramento City College, according to department officials.

According to the department’s crime log, officers filed 43 reports during the first two weeks of the new term. From Aug. 25 to Sept. 8, the log lists “hit and run/no injury” incidents as the top crime reported on campus.

“They [students] are sometimes in a hurry and pull into, or back out of, a [parking] space too fast,” said Los Rios Officer Joe Quirate. “And then they look up. If they don’t see anyone, they drive off.”

Three of the incidents were traffic collisions, according to Quirarte but most of the hit-and-runs involve a collision with a parked vehicle in the parking garage or at one of the campus parking lots. It becomes a crime when the driver leaves the scene without providing his or her information to the damaged vehicle’s owner.

Other crime reports at the beginning of the semester include assault and battery with a deadly weapon, narcotic activities, two physical fights between students, vandalism and multiple incidents of petty theft. A complete listing of all crime reports for Los Rios campuses can be found at the police department’s website, www.police.losrios.edu.

In addition to law enforcement duties, the Los Rios Police provide late night escorts to parking lots, and assistance with opening locked vehicles. Students can reach the police by calling (916) 558- 2221 or from a blue, on-campus safety phone.
