Quinnipiac to arm campus public safety officers
Quinnipiac University is beefing up security by arming some of its campus police officers. Officials at the Hamden school said they will arm senior officers this semester to improve safety. Mark Thompson, Quinnipiac’s executive vice president and provost, wrote in a memo that the school also will offer shooting training to members of the university community. University leaders said that they have been discussing the idea for a few years and that it is not in response to recent shootings elsewhere. A Connecticut man pleaded not guilty to weapons charges after authorities say he carried two loaded handguns at the University of New Haven last month.
