The Notre Dame Police Department has received several reports of disturbances and unruly behavior that occurred in the late evening and early morning hours over the past Labor Day weekend in the area of the Eddy Street Commons, located one block south of campus. It was reported that large groups of juveniles were frequenting the area until the early morning hours fighting, vandalizing vehicles, and harassing patrons and residents of the Eddy Street Commons.
The Notre Dame Police Department has been in contact with our partners at the South Bend Police Department, Kite Realty Group, and Buckingham, the managing partners of the Eddy Street Commons and The Foundry, about these incidents, and we will continue to work together for the safety of our communities. In addition to expanding already existing private security and off-duty police patrols, an increased police presence and numerous additional measures will be put into place. Kite Realty Group is also in collaboration with the businesses of the Eddy Street Commons in response to these events.
