A survey about the alcohol policy at Nevada football games has caused student leaders to draft a resolution and start a Facebook group in support of serving alcohol at games.

The survey, which will be available on SurveyMonkey through Saturday, comes in three parts.

The survey was first released last week by the Nevada athletics department, said Keith Hackett, associate director of athletics.

But to what degree and where he’ll commit his next crime is too hard to tell as the Reno community continues to search for him.

“What may change is where it’s occurring and who the victims are,” said Gregg McCrary, 58, a former FBI profiler who now runs a Fredericksburg, Va., consulting company, Behavioral Criminology International. “Usually they don’t stop by their own volition. They usually have to be stopped by outside law enforcement.”

Ten out of 16 officers and four sergeants in the University of Nevada, Reno Police Department said they have no confidence in police chief Adam Garcia, according to an undated three-page memo.
