Dear Campus Community,
The evening of January 8th, at approximately 10:00pm, Campus Security was notified of a vehicle prowl that occurred in the student parking west of Building 1300. A second person came forward this afternoon, January 9th, reporting that their vehicle had also been prowled. If anyone else had their vehicles prowled but has not yet reported it, please contact the on-duty Campus Security Officer at 206-235-5860 to generate a report.
There is currently nothing to indicate that this criminal activity will become a pattern, this notice is just to keep you informed. Campus Security has uniformed Campus Security Officers on campus 24-hours a day. To report suspicious activity, call 206-235-5860 (or call the Security Office during business hours at 206-546-4633). Listed below are some tips that can help to keep you and your vehicle safe on campus.
- 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.
- 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 your vehicle is unused for more than 48 hours, check on it and move it to another parking space so that it does not appear abandoned or unattended.
Your safety and security is our paramount concern and we hope to provide a pleasant and comfortable experience here at Shoreline. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email us at safetyandsecurity@shoreline.edu(monitored only during business hours).
Respectfully,
Your Department of Safety & Security
