It's pretty safe relatively speakingRutgers NB off campus area is not safe
Not really off campus. Easton and Hamilton streets.Rutgers NB off campus area is not safe
Relatively speaking… it’s either safe or not safe. There has been for years areas around the downtown which are questionable.It's pretty safe relatively speaking
If you have to decide between the description of safe or not safe, it’s definitely safe. Unless you want to contend the whole country is not safe. And if that’s the case, there’s really no point in debating it at all lol. Unless you want to compare the whole country relative to other parts of the world.Relatively speaking… it’s either safe or not safe.

The people who got shot might disagree.It's pretty safe relatively speaking
Around the campus Rutgers is not a safe space.Take a late night walk sometime.If you have to decide between the description of safe or not safe, it’s definitely safe.

So you can see, relative is indeed a thing.

When did you last take a late night walk around there ?Around the campus Rutgers is not a safe space.Take a late night walk sometime.
it's safe, zero question about it.The people who got shot might disagree.
To Camden, Trenton and Newark, sure.It's pretty safe relatively speaking
I graduated in 1994. This is not my perception. I get this second hand from RU college interns that I’ve hired in 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023. They’ve said that there are a lot of home break-ins, late night “mugging” and car break-ins in the off campus areas around College Ave. They’ve said “basically if you’re waking around late at night, you’re asking for trouble”
Like those who defend campus groups acting out against other students. The campus has issues….
This is way too close to campus. RUPD and NBPD need many more foot, car, and bike patrols surrounding campus.

Zero question? Even despite a shooting?it's safe, zero question about it.

Have you asked them why they and RUPD don't patrol more and in greater numbers, and why they seem more worried about busting a college party than stopping actual violent crimes? None of the laws stop them from actually doing those things.to follow up with the above…..I am friendly with several NBPD officers. They often feel their hands are tied by all the “laws”, ironically. The police have been neutered these days by our government. The bad guys have more right than the students. Everyone at RU is more worried that a frat has a keg, then the more pressing issues out there.
Do they really not have the budget to have walking patrols anymore? RUPD too? They used to have walking, bikes and cars. All need to return much more to deter these crimes.It all comes down to the budget. They used to have a walking patrol from George St, to train, up Easton to Verve. They haven’t had it since Covid. Officers in cars with windows up doesn’t deter much. Boots on the ground are much more visible
Sounds like they are more worried about getting home safely. Their hands are tied?to follow up with the above…..I am friendly with several NBPD officers.

you guys are funnySounds like they are more worried about getting home safely. Their hands are tied?
Probably 1982.When did you last take a late night walk around there ?
all NJ cops are overpaidhttps://newbrunswicktoday.com/2019/09/the-125-highest-paid-new-brunswick-city-employees-are-all-men/
Look at all the high paid officers. Salaries are from 2019 so maybe 20% more. I bet they didn’t cut the number of officers. I rather ride in a police car than walk the streets.
I know but a lot of people don’t know. Whenever I get the chance I educate the uninformed.all NJ cops are overpaid
no public official should make more than 2x the avg of the constituents for which they serve imho
Because everyone crapped on them from the BLM stuff in 2020 and defund police. They basically feel why bother, someone is just going to look to sue them or accuse them or racism or some other asinine thing. This has been told to me directly from cops in several towns, NB included. Steve is right. I had to catch a hobo on camera shitting on the side of my office. I then tracked him down, found him and the cop was shrugging his shoulders about it until I showed him the video. The wrote him a ticket that he won't pay and that's it.Have you asked them why they and RUPD don't patrol more and in greater numbers, and why they seem more worried about busting a college party than stopping actual violent crimes?
