Security and Fire Safety Information


GW is committed to assisting all members of the GW community to collectively achieve a safe campus environment. The annual security and fire safety compliance document is available on the GWPD website at 
http://gwired.gwu.edu/upd/compliance.


If you would like to receive a booklet called “The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report” which contains this information, you can stop by the GW Police Department at 2033 G. Street, NW, Woodhull House, Washington, DC, 20052 or you can request that a copy be mailed to you by calling (202) 994-6948.


The website and booklet contain information regarding campus security and personal safety including topics such as: crime prevention, fire safety, university police law enforcement authority, crime reporting policies, disciplinary procedures and other matters of importance related to security and safety on campus. They also contain information about crime statistics for the three previous calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by GW; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.


This information is required by law and is provided by The George Washington University Police Department.
