Crime in Progress

Follow these basic anti-crime tips:

Don’t walk alone in isolated areas.
Don’t open residence hall doors to strangers to allow “piggy-backing” into buildings. Keep all doors closed and locked.
Don’t leave doors propped open or leave valuables unattended. Thieves know to look in your desk drawers and other hidden spaces.
At night, look inside your car before getting in or stay in your car if there are strangers around. Be aware of your surroundings.

Call Public Safety at (206) 296-5911 or use one of the 'Blue Light' emergency phones located around campus.
Give your location, nature of the crime in progress, descriptions of people involved and your name.
If safe to do so, remain where you are until contacted by a Public Safety officer.
If safe to do so, note the suspect’s height, weight, age, sex, race, hair and eye color, tattoos, facial hair, clothing, weapons, and method and direction of travel.
If a motor vehicle is involved, note license plate number, make and model, color and outstanding characteristics.

Don’t try to apprehend or interfere with the criminal except in the case of self-protection or the protection of others.
