Day at a Glance

Dear Campus Community, 

Earlier this evening, a robbery occurred on campus in front of Bldg. 7000 Campus Living. The victim had a bag torn from their hands by a suspect who then entered a black sedan and fled campus. No weapons were observed, and no injuries were reported. Shoreline Police responded and spoke with the victim.  

Campus Security will have a Campus Security Officer posted in front of Bldg. 7000 for the remainder of the evening while other Campus Security personnel conduct patrols of campus. Here are a few tips to help enhance your safety and reduce potential risks. 

• Travel with others after dark. Walking in groups can deter criminals through strength in numbers.
  • If you are on campus and do not have anyone to walk with, you can call the Campus Security Officer on duty at 206-235-5860 to request an escort to/from vehicles/building. 
• Be aware of your surroundings. If you see a person or vehicle acting in a suspicious manner, keep your distance if possible and alert those you are with. If walking alone or at night, do not be focused on your phone or have headphones in/on both ears as this will limit your ability to see or hear someone approaching.
  • If you are on campus, contact the Campus Security Officer on duty at 206-235-5860. Provide your location, a description of the person or vehicle, and what they were doing that seemed suspicious. 

Although you cannot remove all possible risks, taking the right precautions can help reduce the likelihood of being the victim of a crime. Please remember, possessions can be replaced, and your safety is our priority. There are uniformed Campus Security personnel on duty and on campus 24 hours a day, so please don’t hesitate to call for help or report suspicious activity. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at gcranson@shoreline.edu 

Respectfully, 

Greg Cranson 

Director of Safety & Security 

Dear Campus Community,

As a reminder, our All-Campus Fire Drill is today October 11^th. During the drill, all students, staff, faculty, and visitor are required to evacuate from all campus buildings and assemble in the designated evacuation areas (shown on map below). The alarms will activate to begin the drill. Campus Security personnel and Building Marshals will assist at evacuation points and provide directional information. Participation is mandatory if you are on campus. 

We will also be taking this opportunity to test the college emergency notification system, RAVE. We will be sending a notification out via text message, automated voice message, and email. If you are staff or student and do not receive the notification, you can use your college email address and login password to update your settings at https://www.getrave.com/login/shoreline

• The evacuation locations are designated by a white sign with red lettering entitled “Emergency Evacuation Point” along the perimeter of campus (reference attached photo).

• Individuals evacuating buildings should proceed to the evacuation site closest to their location (map attached, evacuation sites marked by “X”)

• Everyone must immediately evacuate, in a calm and controlled manner.
• Do not attempt to re-enter buildings until authorized to do so by Campus Security personnel or a Building Marshal.

We do our best to limit disruptions to campus operations and classes, but there is no one-size-fits all for perfect timing for emergency drills. If you have any questions (besides the exact time of the drill), please feel free to email Acting Director of Safety & Security Gregory Cranson gcranson@shoreline.edu

Respectfully,

Your Department of Safety & Security
