Abstract
THE POLICE-ACTION SERVICE TEAM (PAST) UNIT ALSO HANDLES ALL RUNAWAY CASES, OPERATES A BICYCLE REGISTRATION SYSTEM, AND HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH A LOCAL YMCA TO ACCEPT UNIVERSITY SPONSORED INDIGENTS. THE WORKING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND THE POLICE HAS IMPROVED COLLEGE STUDENT-POLICE RELATIONS CONSIDERABLY.
