Police & Public Safety

On-Campus Police: 610-285-5005

University Police and Public Safety personnel, in conjunction with the Chancellor of Penn State Lehigh Valley, are responsible for safety and security of the campus community. Routine patrol and parking enforcement are handled by the Penn State Police and Public Safety. 

University Police and Public Safety conducts several awareness programs throughout the year on topics such as Run Hide Fight, Alcohol Awareness, Domestic Violence, Office Safety & Security, Drug Awareness, Sexual Assault, Car Seat Safety Checks, and Scams/ Phishing

All sworn police officers are graduates of a certified police academy approved by the Pennsylvania Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission. The sworn police officers complete state-mandated training requirements established for all law enforcement officers.

Penn State University Police and Public Safety officers maintain a cooperative relationship with the surrounding police departments. This includes Upper Saucon Township Police. The Upper Saucon Township Police conduct random mobile patrols of the campus and assist in the security for special events occurring on campus. Serious criminal offenses are referred to the Upper Saucon Township Police.
