Campus Security & Public Safety

Spokane Police contacted Gonzaga Security at 2:35 AM this morning to report that a student had her wallet snatched while she was standing with another student near the corner of Columbus and Boone. The students had walked from a nearby business and at about 2:30 AM a light-skinned African-American male, of thin build and about 6 feet tall, ran up and grabbed her wallet from her hand. He then ran away to the south. Neither student was harmed. Spokane Police are investigating.

 Gonzaga community members are reminded of the following safety tips: 

• If you have to walk, do so in groups especially after dark. Try to use well-lit, busy routes. Be aware of your surroundings.
• Utilize Saferide if you need a ride back to your residence from an off-campus location: call 568-8000.
• Utilize Security escorts to travel across campus: 313-2222.
• Report suspicious persons or circumstances immediately to GU Security (313-2222) or SPD (911).
• Once you are in safe place, report all crimes immediately to police at 911 and GU Security at 313-2222.
