Security in Guam | Fodor's Reisen

Security is not a big topic on Guam.

VIOLENCY crimes are minor, but the offences against belongings are high, so that valuable objects in cars are protected. It is also located in a large seismic area, and these occurrences can and will happen every few years, but victims are very seldom.
