GU Security responded to a medical incident.

We had two suspicious person reports in the 1000 block of East Boone last night, one at about 10:15 PM and another just after midnight. In both cases a subject was observed outside a window. Only one had a physical description: white male, thin build, in his 20s, wearing dark clothing. GU Security and the Spokane Police Department searched the area in both cases but were unable to locate the individual.

While we don’t know that they are linked to the recent burglaries, we always encourage community members to report suspicious persons and activities immediately to 911, and then GU Security (313-2222). This was a great example of community members being proactive.

Just one more reminder: ALWAYS lock your doors and windows and close curtains and blinds, especially at night.

It’s pretty obvious from the reports we’ve been seeing the last two weeks that someone is targeting the neighborhood for burglaries. The Spokane Police Department is actively investigating some leads. In the meantime, there are some easy steps you can take to help protect your property.

·         Lock your doors and windows. Keep curtains & blinds closed.

·         Make sure all of your exterior lights are working.

·         Report crimes immediately. 911.

·         Report suspicious persons and activities immediately. 911.

Following a record-setting month of snow, Gonzaga Grounds crews have made an outstanding effort to clear parking spaces for the return of classes next Tuesday. However, there will be significantly fewer parking spaces than normally available until all the snow melts. Students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to:

·         Carpool with others or have someone drop you off if you can.

·         Utilize public transit. For those who live off campus, there are several different buses that serve the GU campus. Only a dollar a ride and no traffic to hassle with!

·         Follow parking guidelines. You still need to follow the rules, and we will still be writing tickets.

·         Park smart. If you’re not sure it’s a parking space, don’t park there. If your car blocks others in,  we will have it moved to the South Trent lot and you will be responsible for the expense of moving it.

·         Walk safe. Watch for icy spots and report especially hazardous areas to Security at 313-2222.

·         Practice patience. We’re all in this together.

Stop by the Security Office at Welch Hall Mon-Fri 9AM-4PM. One per customer, GU ID required.
