Campus Security & Public Safety

During the last week, we have seen 4 GU Student’s vehicles stolen, including 1 on campus. These criminals can be difficult to catch, as they often use “shaved keys” that work on many different vehicles of a certain model, make, and year. There are things we can do help prevent these thefts, however. Visit the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority to learn more about vehicle theft and how you can help prevent it.
