In his email, Lucier said that he felt that the department’s officers cared about their students.  He said “With the small interactions that I have had with some of the officers, I found myself feeling cared about and looked after”. He went on to say that “UD police to me is a group of people who aren’t there to ruin our lives or make sure we get in trouble. You are there to make sure we are safe”.

Lucier told the chief that his family gives him and his siblings money for special causes during the holidays.
