Safety and Security

Campus Security

The Riverpoint Campus has 24-hour security. Security personnel make periodic patrols of the buildings and parking lots. Three of the security officers on campus maintain Level II commissions with the Spokane Police Department. All officers are trained and have close contact with the city police and fire officials.

• Security can be reached by dialing #40 from any campus phone, by calling 509.358.7995, or e-mailing rpsecurity@wsu.edu.

Safety Tips

• Develop a relationship with neighbors that will encourage checking on one another often.
• Lock up wallets, purses, backpacks, and other valuables. Do not leave them unattended, even on campus.
• Report safety hazards, unsafe lighting, and defective equipment to campus administrative offices.
• Be aware of your surroundings. Know where you are. Know where you are going and what to expect.
• Avoid walking alone and let people know where you are going.
• Park in an area that will be well-lit after dark. Ask campus security personnel to walk you to your car at night.
• Plan your walking trips in advance and choose a safe, well-lit, and populated route.
• Remember that most crimes occur in response to opportunities.
• Leave nothing visible in your car, even if it is of no value.
