In this week's episode of "What's Up, College Station?,” Police Officer David Simmons discusses student move-in season, local crime trends, and the pros and cons of New Year’s resolutions.

Each year, fatal road accidents peak between midnight and 5 a.m. on New Year’s Day, bringing in the new year in a horrific way. But we can avoid many of these accidents if motorists – and those around them – recognize the red flags and take preventive action.

Christmas is a season of joy and love for many, but it’s also a time for criminals to take advantage of the unwary. Keep your family and property safe by taking common-sense precautions and reporting suspicious activities to the police.

This is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, honoring the dedicated people and organizations who care for animals in need. In College Station, we’re proud to work hand-in-paw with the Aggieland Humane Society and the City’s Animal Control Unit to keep pets safe, healthy, and loved.

The College Station Police Department will participate in National Night Out on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at neighborhood gatherings across our community, offering useful crime prevention tips and addressing concerns. If your neighborhood wants to take part, you can register online through Oct. 3.
