Yale University and New Haven officials are blasting the labor union for college police for handing out flyers with grim reaper depictions warning new students about high crime in the city and offering safety tips
August 22, 2023 at 4:46 pm PDTYale University and New Haven officials blasted the labor union representing campus police officers Tuesday for handing out flyers telling new students it was unsafe to leave school grounds, walk alone, take public transportation or be outdoors after 8 p.m.
“The incidence of crime and violence in New Haven is shockingly high, and it is getting worse,” it warned, offering examples of recent crimes. Officials with the union, the Yale Police Benevolent Association, said the flyer was only meant to help keep students safe and had nothing to do with contract talks.
The New York City original spurred outrage from civic leaders. The Yale Police Benevolent Association's take drew roughly the same reaction from city and school leaders. Hall said the flyer’s design was meant to grab attention, as Yale students are bombarded with pamphlets and other information materials when they arrive on campus.
But Elicker, the mayor, said the flyer gave a misleading portrait of crime in the city of nearly 139,000. He said over the past three years, violent crime has dropped 29%, property crime is down nearly 8% and other crimes have decreased 19%.
