Safety & Security Tips for Life on Campus, Summer Quarter ‘23

Welcome to Summer Quarter! We hope it is going well so far. Here are some tips from the Department of Safety & Security.

Parking

The grace period for Summer Quarter 2023 extends until July 14^th which is this Friday. That means written warnings if you don’t have a parking permit, park in a staff lot, or improperly display your permit. We always issue citations with fines for ADA violations, PCC parking violations, and other illegal/hazardous (fire lane, blocking roadway, not parked in a parking stall, etc.). Students can purchase parking permits in Student Finance (aka Cashiers). Part-Time employment requests can be sent in by department office. Full-Time employee permit requests must be verified by Dean, Director, etc.

Campus Security

We have a uniformed officer on campus and on-duty 24/7/365. Our personnel are trained and equipped to respond to a vast variety of calls that include, but are not limited to, basic first aid, medical emergencies, security emergencies, and calls for assistance.

To reach our team during business hours, call 206-546-4633, or visit the Safety & Security Office in the Foss Building, Room 5102.

After hours or if the office does not answer, the on-duty Campus Security Officer can be reached at 206-235-5860

Courtesy Services

Our department provides vehicle lockout assistance, vehicle jumpstarts, security escorts, and more!

Lost & Found

The official campus Lost & Found is located in the Safety & Security Office, Room 5102. We hold on to items for 3-6 months before disposing of them.

Tips 

With the current state of regional crime trends, here are a few tips that can help you in having a wonderful experience here at Shoreline:

• STOP! If you haven’t already, save the after-hours Campus Security number in your phone now! 206-235-5860.
• Park in high traffic and well-lit areas. Criminals don’t typically like having an audience while they work.
• Remove all valuables from your vehicle and remove items from view.
  • Even if a bag only has dirty gym clothes in it, a prowler may break in hoping it contains valuables.
• If you observe a suspicious person or vehicle on campus, call security.
• Always keep your phone and photo ID on your person in the event that you need to contact assistance.
• If you witness or observe concerning behavior or posts on social media, report it to Campus Security by calling the office or after hours number.
• PLEASE NOTE: Do not report injuries, criminal activity, or request immediate assistance via email, as email is only monitored sporadically during office hours. 
• Reminder, the campus is closed every Friday from July 14^th through September 1^st.
