Various people have different opinions about police enforcement no matter where you live. Due to their strict enforcement of Conway's noise laws, they are sometimes referred to by students as "Professional Party Poopers." Others point out that theirs is a thankless job, and that you can't make everybody happy at once, especially while enforcing laws that you didn't write.
