You are being watched – or soon will be.
MCC is planning to install high-tech digital security cameras around campus and in the school’s parking lots before January, a move that college officials hope will reduce auto thefts and break-ins.
MCC’s director of college safety, Steve Corich, said the plan has been a long time coming. He said the college has been talking about installing the security cameras for a few years, long before he was hired just over a year ago.

Nov. 13, Phoenix police coordinated what they said was the largest drag racing bust in state history.  
Ten people were arrested for drag racing, and 165 bystanders were arrested for various other illegal activities such as underage drinking and trespassing.
Five days earlier on Nov. 8, Firebird International Raceway, Auto Trader Magazine, and many other sponsors worked together to host an event intended to provide not only entertainment for participants and attendees, but also to help get drag racing off the streets and back on to the race track.
