Bombings throughout the country have  prompted police to be more vigilant about explosive devices. Now, two bomb-sniffing canines are helping the Cornell University Police Department protect the University against possible future threats.

Police and local law enforcement are investigating the cause of the explosion, which occurred early Monday, according to CUPD Chief Kathy Zoner.

About 35 minutes after shots were reportedly fired in Collegetown on Tuesday morning,  police received a call regarding a man with a gunshot wound to his buttocks.

An attempted rape reported to have occurred on campus this September did not in fact happen, Cornell police announced Thursday.

“It feels good to know you accomplished the goals that you set out to ... to see something tangible for it,” one of the officers said.

Three specially-trained Cornell police officers are now exclusively investigating reports of sexual assault after a string of incidents were reported on or near campus this semester, according to Police Chief Kathy Zoner.

A female student was reportedly grabbed and terrorized by a masked man behind 111 Dryden Rd. early Saturday morning.

Despite widespread concern about student safety in Collegetown, an event held on Monday to address the recent sexual assaults was completely deserted.

In an effort to improve relationships between Cornell students and Collegetown residents, Cornellians and Ithacans came together Saturday at the Collegetown Neighborhood Fair.

After a string of sexual assaults were reported on and near Cornell’s campus, many students say they have a heightened fear of walking alone at night and feel a greater need for being vigilant around campus.
