It can happen anywhere….

December 17, 2012

We see very little in the way of violent crime on the Gonzaga campus, but it can happen. To help prepare all of our Gonzaga community members for “active shooter” situations – which can happen anywhere – we offer both individualized and on-line training. Gonzaga staff, faculty, and students can visit our “Active Shooter” webpage and view a short video to prepare themselves for these rare, but dangerous, situations. We also ask all staff, faculty, and students to sign up for “ZagAlert” to receive emergency notices during significant events where an on-going threat is identified.

  • SPD News Release: Alert Resident Helps Nab Car Thieves

    October 26, 2012

    An alert Spokane resident saw a suspicious vehicle this morning in the area of 500 E Mission. The resident saw the red 1997 Subaru circling the block near their home. The resident gave dispatchers the license plate number, and it turned out the Subaru was reported stolen at about 6:30 AM from the NW side of the city.

    Spokane police responded to the area rather quickly and did find the car as it pulled up to a convenience store at Ermina and Hamilton. Officer Ryan Snider and Susannah Wilson contacted the driver, 21 year old Cody Wolfley as he attempted to enter the store. As the officers were detaining Wolfley, a second suspect appeared in the Subaru and attempted to back out of the parking lot. When the vehicle backed out, it struck a patrol car, causing no damage. He too was quickly detained in the Subaru. He was identified as 31 year old Ace Harris. Both Wolfly and Harris had outstanding warrants and extensive histories in property crimes. Inside the car officers found numerous shaved keys and items that may have been taken in vehicle prowlings.

    Harris and Wolfley were booked into the Spokane County Jail for possession of a stolen vehicle. Spokane Police often get great tips from residents. As in this case, the tip turned into felony property arrests and removed subjects like this off the streets. It is encouraged for citizens to call police or Crime Check when they see activity in their neighborhood that seems odd or unfamiliar.


    Halloween Safety Tips for Social Gatherings

    October 25, 2012

    If you go to a costume party, go with a group of friends you know and trust.

    • Always carry a photo ID, and make sure your friends carry identification and phone numbers with them in case they become incapacitated for any reason.
    • Consider your costume, and avoid wearing one that inhibits your ability to see and move freely. Use special caution when crossing the street, and be sure motorists see you before you cross.
    • Some people who want to cause harm may take advantage of being unrecognizable in a Halloween costume.  Stay in an environment where you can easily get help or move away from someone who is threatening your safety.  Be aware of your surroundings.
    • If you are intoxicated, your impaired judgment places you at a much greater risk for injury, unwanted sexual contact, or a police citation. Set a drink limit for yourself and stick to it. (Or plan not to drink alcohol at all.)
    • If you accept a beverage from someone, make sure that you know the individual, you have observed the drink being prepared, and you never leave it unattended. Exercise caution in any public setting with any beverage.
    • Make a plan to get home safely. If you have no other safe option, you can utilize GSBA Saferide for rides back to your on-campus or near-campus residence.  568-8000. Halloween is one of the busiest nights of the year for cabs, so please be prepared to wait for your ride.

    If you plan to host a social gathering, please visit the Gonzaga Off-Campus Living guide at: http://www.gonzaga.edu/Student-Life/Off-Campus-Living/Docs-and-Pics/OffCampusGuide1.pdf .  You’ll find some great tips for safely hosting guests and a social gathering on pages 16-19.

    October 16, 2012

    Thanks to some attentive Gonzaga students who quickly notified Spokane Police and Campus Security, two separate subjects were contacted, identified, and trespassed from the area. Residents in the 900 block of East Augusta called at about 9:30 PM to report a suspicious person in the backyard of their residence. SPD and Campus Security quickly contacted a person matching his description in the 900 block of East Indiana. Then, at about 10:00 PM, residents in 1000 block of East Sinto called to report a suspicious person in the backyard of their residence. SPD and Campus Security searched the area, but did not find the subject. The residents called again at 11:30 PM to report the same subject was back. SPD and Campus Security again responded and located a person matching the description walking near the area. Both subjects were white males, 33 and 50 years of age, wearing dark clothing. At least one of the subjects had been previously arrested for burglary and trafficing stolen property.

    Here are some easy steps you can take to help protect your property:

    Pedestrian Safety Tips

    October 8, 2012

    As the days grow shorter and the weather becomes more inclement, it’s more important than ever to follow these basic safety tips:

    Safety tips for PEDESTRIANS:

    Be safe and be seen: make yourself visible to drivers

    • Wear bright/light colored clothing and reflective materials.
    • Carry a flashlight when walking at night.
    • Cross in a well-lit area at night.
    • Stand clear of buses, hedges, parked cars or other obstacles before crossing so drivers can see you.

    Be smart and alert: avoid dangerous behaviors

    • Always walk on the sidewalk; if there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic.
    • Stay sober; walking while impaired increases your chance of being struck.
    • Don’t assume vehicles will stop; make eye contact with drivers, don’t just look at the vehicle. If a driver is on a cell phone, they may not be paying enough attention to drive safely.
    • Don’t rely solely on pedestrian signals; look before you cross the road.
    • Be alert to engine noise or backup lights on cars when in parking lots and near on-street parking spaces.

    Be careful at crossings: look before you step

    • Cross streets at marked crosswalks or intersections, if possible.
    • Obey traffic signals such as WALK/DON’T WALK signs.
    • Look left, right, and left again before crossing a street.
    • Watch for turning vehicles; make sure the driver sees you and will stop for you.
    • Look across ALL lanes you must cross and visually clear each lane before proceeding. Just because one motorist stops, do not presume drivers in other lanes can see you and will stop for you.
    • Don’t wear headphones or talk on a cell phone while crossing. 

    Pedestrian safety tips for DRIVERS:

    Be alert: watch for pedestrians at all times

    • Scan the road and the sides of the road ahead for potential pedestrians.
    • Before making a turn, look in all directions for pedestrians crossing.
    • Don’t drive distracted or after consuming alcohol or other drugs.
    • Do not use your cell phone while driving.
    • Look carefully behind your vehicle for approaching pedestrians before backing-up, especially small children.
    • For maximum visibility, keep your windshield clean and headlights on.

    Be responsible: yield to pedestrians at crossings

    • Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, whether marked or unmarked.
    • Yield to pedestrians when making right or left turns at intersections.
    • Do not block or park in crosswalks.

    Be patient: drive the speed limit and avoid aggressive maneuvers

    • Never pass/overtake a vehicle that is stopped for pedestrians.
    • Obey speed limits and come to a complete stop at STOP signs.
    • Use extra caution when driving near children playing along the street or older pedestrians who may not see or hear you.
    • Always be prepared to stop for pedestrians.

    Washington State Law Regarding Pedestrians & Crosswalks:

    RCW 46.61.230
    RCW 46.61.235
    RCW 46.61.240
