Campus Security & Public Safety

Spokane Police Crime Analysis experts have seen a 38% increase in vehicle prowling activity in the past year and while SPD continues to combat these crimes by responding to and arresting offenders, the department is taking a proactive approach with the “Remove it or Lose it” campaign. The campaign offers tips to prevent vehicle prowling from information gathered from victims of the crime (most had left valuables in sight, etc.)

“Remove it or Lose it” offers the following tips to citizens:

• Park your car in a well lit or high traffic area
• Don’t leave valuables in plain sight inside your car
• Keep your car doors locked
• When shopping, lock bags in the trunk
• If you see someone in your car, call 911
