Contacting Public Safety:
Emergencies: Call (215) 573-3333 or dial 511 from any campus phone. Program this number into your cell phone’s speed dial as “Penn Public Safety.” Use this number for all medical and emergency-related calls, including the reporting of suspicious behavior, or to reach Penn Police & Public Safety personnel.
General information: Call (215) 898-7297 or visit www.publicsafety.upenn.edu.
Safety and Security Services:
Walking Escort Service: (215) 898-WALK (9255). Uniformed Allied Universal Public Safety Officers provide walking escorts to all campus locations. Officers are dispatched by radio and will accompany you from one campus location to another, to your parked vehicle, to a Penn Transit Stop or to an on-campus SEPTA regional transit stop. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, between 30th & 43rd Streets and Market Street & Baltimore Avenue. Escorts are also available from 10 a.m. until 3 a.m. between 30th & 50th and Spring Garden Street & Woodland Avenue via the University’s partnership with the University District Ambassador Program.
How to Request a Walking Escort: Ask any Public Safety Officer on patrol or inside a building. Call (215) 898-WALK (9255) or 511 from any campus phone. Use one of the many building and blue light phones located on and off Penn’s campus.
Business Services’ Penn Ride Service:
Penn Transportation and Parking: (215) 898-RIDE (7433). Visit www.upenn.edu/transportation.
UPennAlert: The UPennAlert Emergency Notification System enables fast and efficient dissemination of critical information to members of the University community during a major emergency via text messaging, email, digital displays and the Penn Siren Outdoor System (PennSOS). If you have not done so already, please take a few minutes now to register or update your contact information.
-All information is secure and confidential.
-Students: Access Penn InTouch via Penn Portal at https://portal.apps.upenn.edu/penn_portal/portal.php.
-Faculty/Staff: Access the Penn Directories via www.upenn.edu/directories.
Blue Light Phones: If you observe a potential safety hazard, need a walking escort, or require Penn Police assistance, contact the Division of Public Safety from one of more than 300 blue-light phones on campus and in the surrounding community. Just pick up the receiver or press the button.
Penn Guardian: Penn Guardian is a free app that is available to all Penn community members. It was developed by the University’s safety partner Rave Guardian, a service used on college campuses across the country. Registering is easy—search “Rave Guardian” in the App Store for iOS devices or Google Play for Android devices. You will be prompted to enter your name, phone number, and Penn email address, which provides access to the University’s customized interface. Calls from a registered phone will allow Penn Police to determine your cell phone’s GPS location, which can decrease response time. This information will only be available to Penn Police when you call the Penn Emergency Communications Center (PennComm) directly, either through the app or at (215) 573-3333. If a call is made to PennComm, and you are unable to speak—perhaps because of an allergic reaction—a call-taker will send a text message to your phone. You can then communicate directly via text. The app includes a confidential way to submit information to Penn Police—with a photo, if necessary—through a text message. For more information, please visit the Penn Guardian website at www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/pennguardian.
(215) 898-HELP Line: The HELP Line is a 24-hour-a-day phone number for members of the Penn community who are seeking time-sensitive help in navigating Penn’s resources for health and wellness. Any member of the Penn community can use this service by calling (215) 898-HELP (4357). Calls will be answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by Division of Public Safety professionals trained in mental health referrals by staff from Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Students who are dealing with the complex emotional challenges of university life can use the HELP Line to receive information and referrals to the many health and wellness resources at Penn, including CAPS, Student Health Service, Student Intervention Services, Public Safety, and others. They may also call on behalf of a friend or acquaintance. Parents who are concerned about their student may also call the HELP Line for assistance.
Learn more: https://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/safety-initiatives/help-line-215-898-help/.
Safety Presentations and Materials: Members of the Division of Public Safety will provide safety information, including brochures, videos, and presentations, upon request. To request materials or arrange for a presentation, please contact our Special Services Department at (215) 898-4481 or submit a form online at www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/contact/presentation-request-form/.

-Students: Access Campus Express Online via http://campusexpress.upenn.edu.
-Faculty/Staff: Access U@Penn via www.upenn.edu/u@penn.
Preventing Theft on Campus: Theft is the number one crime at Penn. The majority of all theft reported to the Penn Police occurs because items are left unattended or are improperly secured.
-All items should be taken with you at all times.
-U-locks, not cable locks, should be used on bikes.
-You should always lock your doors, even if leaving for only a few minutes.
-Always report suspicious activity by contacting the Division of Public Safety at (215) 573-3333 or 511 from a campus phone.
-Faculty/Staff: Access U@Penn via www.upenn.edu/u@penn.
Safety Practices: The Division of Public Safety asks that all University community members engage the idea that “Safety and Security is a Shared Responsibility.” Please remember to take your personal property with you at all times, don’t leave doors unlocked and report suspicious behavior.
Secure Package Deliveries: If you will not be home when a package arrives, remember to make arrangements for safe delivery. Make use of the Amazon@Penn hub locker in 1920 Commons, the Residential Services Off-Campus package holding service (for students). You can also check with your landlord to see if they offer package services, or use other package service locations.
Prescription Drug Take-Back Box: A Prescription Drug Take-Back Box is located in the lobby of the Division of Public Safety Headquarters, 4040 Chestnut Street, open 24/7/365. Through a partnership with the state of Pennsylvania and Penn Medicine, Public Safety will take back unused prescription drugs.
Info: https://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/prescription-drug-take-back-box-installed-in-public-safetys-hq/.
First Amendment Activity Guide: The ACLU has a comprehensive guide for protected behaviors and freedom of expression through protest. Visit their website here for more information: https://catalog.upenn.edu/pennbook/open-expression/.
Fire Safety: As you get ready to enjoy outdoor picnics and BBQs this summer, keep in mind these fire safety tips. Also, be sure to follow local regulations for your residence.
-Keep grilling appliances a minimum of 36 inches from combustibles.
-Keep an eye on your grill, fire pit, or patio torches. Never leave them unattended.
-Never keep spare propane cylinders under or near a grill, or inside the home.
Heat-related Illness: Very hot weather is dangerous for everyone. Review these tips from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health to protect yourself and loved ones during the hot summer months. If you experience or witness a medical emergency within the Penn patrol zone, call PennComm at (215) 573-3333. If you are at any other location, call 911.
Some people are more likely to get sick: People aged 65 and older; infants and young children; people with a chronic medical condition (like diabetes or heart disease); people experiencing homelessness; outdoor workers; athletes
Ways to protect yourself from heat-related illness: avoid direct sunlight; stay in air-conditioned buildings; wear light, loose-fitting clothing; drink plenty of water (don’t wait until you’re thirsty); avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sugary drinks (they can dehydrate you); stay updated on local weather; know the signs of heat-related illness; check on elderly and homebound neighbors; never leave people or pets in a parked car on a hot day.
If you think someone is having a medical emergency on campus, call 215-573-3333, if away from campus, call 911. If you see someone experiencing homelessness who needs help, call (215) 573-3333, if elsewhere in the city, call (215) 232-1984, the outreach number of Project HOME.
