4.18.1 General Assistance to Motorists (Issued: 6/25/07)
A. Because of the overall danger to stranded motorists and other drivers, officers will offer
reasonable assistance at all times to a motorist who appears to be in need of aid. This will
apply at all hours of the day, but particularly during nighttime hours when hazards are
greater.
B. Officers should be constantly alert for motorists who appear to need assistance. Officers
shall freely provide information and directions upon request. In an effort to better serve
citizens, officers should not only become familiar with the streets and services of the
University, but also the various services and facilities available in the area.
