Campus and Community Safety
The Division of Public Safety is committed to the safety and wellbeing of the Penn and West Philadelphia communities which we serve. Know that DPS continues to provide comprehensive safety and security services 24x7 for all areas comprising the Penn Patrol zone, including 30th Street to 43rd Street and Market Street to Baltimore Avenue. DPS maintains the same staffing level of Police and Security officers throughout Winter Break. We are here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you should have any concerns or see someone exhibiting suspicious behavior, call the PennComm Emergency Communications Center at 215-573-3333. Walking Escort Program: An excellent resource for Penn and the local community. Uniformed Allied Universal Public Safety Officers provide free walking escorts, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Special Property Checks: We offer Special Property Checks for residents in our patrol zone during Winter Break. Under the Special Checks program, DPS officers check the exterior of registered properties for signs of safety or security breaches. This free program is available to all residents in the Penn patrol zone, the area from 30th Street to 43rd Street and from Baltimore Avenue to Market Street. While it is never the fault of the victim/survivor of a crime, there are specific patterns of criminal activity that we are mindful of during the winter holiday season. Consider these steps you can take to empower and protect yourself as you travel near and far: Package Theft: Avoid Package Theft – Have a plan! Arrange to be home for delivery or have your packages delivered to a secure location.
Have a wonderful winter break, stay safe, and be well! |
