            3)  3^rd Offense:  termination of membership

We are all representatives of the organizations we belong to.  No matter where you are, whether wearing Student Law Enforcement Apparel or not, you are a member and representative of the Student Law Enforcement Association.  Your actions, whether on or off campus, will leave a lasting impression on someone.  Remember, we must cooperate with other students, organizations (both university and non-university affiliated), and university, municipal and state officials.  All of these groups have input about our organization and also have an equally important impact on the future of the Student Law Enforcement Association.
