BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Morgan State University (MSU) police officers are demanding change after a recent campus mass shooting. Fox45 News obtained an 11-page letter dated October 10 from the officers' police union that was sent to university leadership. The letter puts MSU Police Chief Lance Hatcher under considerable scrutiny.

The members focus on the shooting that happened on campus October 3, which left five people injured, including four students. The incident happened outside Thurgood Marshall Hall and initially triggered an active shooter situation, with students and others ordered to shelter-in-place.

Baltimore police announced Friday the arrest of a 17-year-old boy in connection with the shooting.

The union listed this shooting and others that happened on or near campus and said it wants a thorough re-evaluation of the campus police department's approach to safety.

SEE THE 11-PAGE LETTER BELOW:

Among the issues addressed in the letter includes a staffing shortage, which the union said is "misrepresented" by Hatcher. Union members said Hatcher claims he has 60 sworn officers, but they call that a misrepresentation of staffing levels, saying it includes unarmed security officers. The union said the department has only 34 sworn officers, including four in the command staff who do not go out on patrol.

Another concern of the union regards a vehicle shortage which they see an example of Chief Hatcher's failure to properly equip officers for duty. The letter states, in part, "Only four active vehicles [are] available for patrol officers, two of these vehicles are in constant need of maintenance." The union said the lack of available vehicles for officers to respond to the scene of the mass shooting in a timely manner created a "challenging situation" during the incident.

Union members also have a complaint involving communications matters during emergencies.

The letter states, in part, "The absence of radio access for MSUPD patrol officers to Baltimore City police and other local agencies proved to be a significant obstacle to coordinating responses effectively in real time."

On Monday, MSU released the following statement regarding the concerns addressed by the union:

Morgan State University appreciates the role that the Morgan State University Police Department (MSUPD) has played and continues to play in keeping our campus safe and secure. Throughout the October 3rd incident that transpired and in its aftermath, MSUPD has been unwavering and proficient in its overall responsiveness and service to the Morgan community. The acknowledged receipt of this letter from the MSU Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) over the weekend was completely unexpected and surprising. Prior to the receipt of this letter, a meeting had already been scheduled between University Administration and the new leadership of the MSU FOP. The release of this letter to the media in advance of this scheduled meeting taking place and before it could be thoroughly reviewed, is unfortunate. The scheduled meeting will proceed as planned and the University looks forward to using the opportunity to address the concerns identified in the letter. As a result of these concerns, which have only just been brought to the attention of University leadership, the University is committed to conducting a full investigation of all allegations pertaining to the MSUPD and its operations. In the interim, the University remains confident in the abilities of Morgan’s police department under the steady leadership of Chief Lance Hatcher. We thank the members of the MSUPD for their untiring efforts to keep the Morgan community and our campus safe.
