Correction appended

The University Police Department is investigating a handful of locker break-ins at the law school this month, which have spurred the Student Bar Association to reexamine the school’s security measures.

Four students reported stolen items and three filed reports with the department, UPD Chief Kevin Hay said. Students said the locks were not damaged. The thefts occurred on floors without cameras.

Hay said he is working with the law school to address the issue and would consider ways to better secure the area.

“We are considering our layered security system and if any changes need to be made,” Hay wrote in an email, adding that security cameras were added to the law school last fall.

SBA Executive Vice President Holly Trogdon said the organization worked with Hank Molinengo, the law school’s associate dean for administrative affairs, to amp up security in the school’s buildings last summer, securing all but one of the main entrances with electronic GWorld locks and installing security cameras on two floors.

Molinengo declined to comment on the law school’s current security measures. Hay said UPD is reviewing security at the school to determine “if any changes need to be made.”

Trogdon, who has been a member of the SBA since last spring, wrote that the student group typically receives one or two reports each semester, but some thefts could be going unreported.

The Hatchet incorrectly spelled Student Bar Association executive vice president Holly Trogdon’s name. Due to an editing error, the Hatchet also incorrectly stated the group University Police Chief Kevin Hay was working with student leaders to address security issues. We regret these errors.
