Last night, IUP’s Homecoming weekend got into full swing with the Homecoming Hip-Hop concert, and so far, no major incidents have been reported.
This weekend is expected to be a busy one for local law enforcement agencies. Increased police presences are expected from both Indiana Borough and State Police, along with assistance from some surrounding areas. This includes the presence of the State Police Mounted Unit.
Indiana Borough Police Chief Justin Schawl has always said that his focus is always on “Peace, Safety and Comfort” for Indiana Borough’s residents and those who visit, and while he says that that it’s harder to maintain during a high-celebratory weekend like Homecoming, it is no easier than any other time of the year.
Schawl said he would not go into details as to how things will go this weekend, but they are committed to the safety of the community through the weekend and into the future.
