Borough Police Chief Charles Davall said he was pleased with the results of this year's Bicker pick-up and initiations weekend at last night's Borough Council meeting.
During the discussion of the monthly police report, Davall said the annual festivity of nearly two weeks ago was "much better than in years past."
Davall said the department had placed "a lot of officers out there in anticipation of problems." He said only one student was charged with an ordinance violation during the weekend and added that no students were taken to Princeton Medical Center by the Borough Police.
"The results were very good, very promising," he said.
Davall said he had warned at least one eating club president there would be a significant police presence on Prospect Avenue for the weekend.
He acknowledged the eating club presidents' role in the improvement during the past years.
"They really took the issue seriously," he said.
Davall added that he planned to meet with the incoming presidents of all the eating clubs in the coming month to discuss alcohol-related issues.
