A suspicious person was seen on campus last night and was intercepted by police. He is described as a 5-foot-6 white or Hispanic male, medium build, bald, and has a thin beard and mustache. He has tattoos on both arms. He was seen wearing blue jeans and a steel-blue jacket.

If you see this person on campus, please call Campus Public Safety immediately at 503-554-2090.

As a safety reminder, we encourage you to program Campus Public Safety’s phone number into your cell phone so that it is available in case you need it. We are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at 503-554-2090.

The following are some of the reasons why you may want to give us a call:

• If you feel unsafe: Safety escorts are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and can escort you to your destination.

• In case of an emergency: First, call 911, and then call Campus Public Safety; we can coordinate with emergency first responders to help direct them to your location.

• If you need roadside assistance: We are happy to assist in unlocking your car or giving you a jump start if your battery is dead.

• If you’re locked out of your room: Campus policy requires that you first try calling a RA from your living area. If you are unable to reach an RA, then you are welcome to call CPS and we will make our best effort to respond as soon as we are available.

• To report a crime or accident: If you need to report a crime or accident, we can connect you to the proper George Fox department or off-campus agency to complete and file a report.

A victim of a crime is never at fault and should not be blamed for his or her actions. For those who would like to know what precautions they can take in order to reduce the risk of victimization, we offer the following tips:

• Let someone know where you are going, your expected travel time, and how long you plan on being in that location.
• If you are running or walking in the evening, wear bright or reflective clothing to make yourself more visible to drivers and to help someone spot you faster in case of an emergency.
• Also, if you are running or walking in the evening, go with someone or a group of people you trust. (If you choose this option, be sure to wear the appropriate face coverings.) Stay in well-lit, highly visible areas. Stay in familiar areas and avoid shortcuts.
• Be aware of your surroundings and walk with purpose. Distractions like using your cell phone while walking can make you particularly vulnerable.
• In regards to electronics, be sure that your phone is charged before traveling. Wear only one earbud while you walk and keep your volume low.
• Do not leave valuable items in your car in an open view.
•  Park in well-lit areas where it will be safe for you to return to at night. Take note of where you park so that you can easily locate your car again.
