UPD responds to 11 break-ins, thefts over break

University police saw no shortage of crime during Winter Break, with the numbers of break-ins and thefts rising to 14 incidents — more than the previous three years. The University Police Department responded to 11 calls for burglaries, an increase from seven calls from break 2014 and zero calls from break 2013. The break-ins reflected in the data only include calls UPD responds to, and does not include burglaries the Muncie Police Department may have responded to.

University police officers are often paid more than their city counterparts, despite having a smaller area of jurisdiction. Ball State UPD officers are no exception, averaging higher salaries than those working for the Muncie Police Department, in addition to the extra training they receive.
