\"\"<\/a>TYLER \u2014 A Tyler apartment complex that has been riddled with violence says it will be working harder to ensure the safety of its residents, many whom are students at UT-Tyler. In the past two years alone, there have been reported shootings, robberies, and brawls at the site. The apartment\u2019s parent company, Peak Campus Management, released a statement to its residents and made the statement available to our news partner KETK. It reads, in part:<\/p>\n

\u201cVarsity Place has a zero tolerance policy on crime and is actively joining forces with community partners to make a difference. We ask that you join our effort. If you witness any questionable activity, call the police: 9-1-1 if it is an emergency or at 903-531-1000 for non-emergency issues. After you have called the police, then let us know. We cannot take care of specific problems if we do not know about them. <\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, we would like to bring to your attention the efforts that we are taking and remind you of some Varsity Place rules and regulations. Varsity Place has partnered with the Tyler Police Department and the UT Tyler Police to enforce a zero tolerance policy on crime or destructive behavior. Tyler Police Department has set-up a 24-7 mobile station on-site. Varsity Place has outsourced courtesy patrol in addition to our four courtesy patrol officers employed. We have partnered with other student housing communities to cross reference files and prohibit problem residents from leasing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a 10:00pm curfew. No loitering is allowed after 10:00. You are responsible for your guests and their actions. You will be held responsible for any criminal activity committed by your guests. Any violations of the above policies will be grounds for eviction or termination of your lease. You will still be responsible for the amount of your contract.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
