Self Defense 101 Workshop

In this class participants will learn techniques for maintaining their stance and footing, escaping from several different grabs, and working as a team with their friends and allies. We will be doing physical drills and practicing movements to help maintain and regain physical autonomy, as well as running through verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to make ourselves and those around us safer and more capable in self-defense situations.

Weekend Community Event and Impact on Campus

Dear Campus Community,

This weekend, Shoreline Community College is partnering with Shoreline Police, Kenmore Police, and the King County Sheriff’s Office to host a Gift Cards for Guns event on campus. There will be a noticeable presence of law enforcement at the event as well as some areas of campus that will be closed for the duration of the event. Attached is a map that shows the affected areas (which include Building 2000 and all roadways and parking areas west of Bldg. 1500, 1600, 1700, and 1800. Additionally, a detour will be in place for drivers attempting to access the City of Shoreline Off Leash Dog Park and the north side of campus. The closures will be in effect from 7:00am – 3:00pm (or end of operations). You can find additional information at https://www.facebook.com/KingCountySheriff

This is a map of the campus that shows where the impacted parking will be.

If you have any additional questions, you can reach out to the Department of Safety & Security or President’s Office.

Respectfully,

Your Department of Safety & Security

This Friday 10/13/23 Catalytic Converter Tagged & Protected Event

Dear Campus Community,

On Friday, October 13th, from 8:00am – 2:00pm, Shoreline Police and Shoreline Community College will be hosting a catalytic converter tagging event. Current students, faculty, and staff of Shoreline Community College can bring one (1) vehicle on a first come first serve basis. You will drop your vehicle off at the check-in tent where your campus affiliation will be verified, a member of our automotive program will retrieve your vehicle to etch the last 6-8 digits of your VIN on the catalytic converter before spraying it with a special brightly colored paint. The etching of the VIN will help police track the owner of the converter should it be stolen and recovered, and both the paint and the etching are a deterrent to thieves as it would make the converter much more difficult to sell.

The parking lot south of Bldg. 2000 will be cordoned off and the only vehicle access allowed will be those taking part in the event, you must enter from the south lot entrance. There will also be Shoreline Police on-site throughout the event who would love to interact with members of the community.

This is a map that shows where to drop the vehicles off for the CatCon event.

While this event is also open to City of Shoreline residents, Shoreline Police handled registration of non-campus community members and the registration quickly filled up. Passenger vehicles only (no box trucks, RVs, high-end sports cars, etc.). No installation of protective shield. Wait times may vary.

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

Respectfully,

Gregory Cranson

Fire Drill Debrief

Dear Campus Community,

Let me start by thanking everyone for their participation in the campus fire evacuation drill yesterday. This drill is the kickoff for increased and continued emergency preparedness that will be a large focus of the Department of Safety & Security for the 23-24 school year. We have already identified a few areas that we are going to focus on for improvement of drills and for overall preparedness:

  • Updated signage around campus with evacuation locations and AEDs
  • There were several buildings (800, 1000, 1100, 1200, 5000) where the alarm sounded momentarily before shutting off. Rest assured; this was user error (on my part) as I inadvertently activated the alarm clearing sequence on the panel as I was attempting to activate the fire alarms across campus. Should your building alarms sound for an actual emergency, they will sound continuously until cleared by responding personnel.
  • There were several buildings (1800, 1900, 2300, 4000, 2900, 3000) where the alarm never sounded or had to be triggered via a pull station. This was a known possible outcome due to work being done on the system as a part of the new construction projects and effected only communication between the panels. Should there be an emergency in any of those buildings, the alarms will sound and stay active until cleared by responding personnel. 

I would like to give you all the opportunity to provide feedback from your experience yesterday (both the good and the bad). Please feel free to fill out this survey
