Campus Police and Safety
Your safety is the highest priority for our Campus Police Department. Our campus police officers are fully trained law enforcement officials and patrol our well-lit campus 24 hours a day. Officers also conduct safety seminars from time to time to teach you how to stay safe in various situations.
We work closely with students, faculty and staff to promote safety through education, prevention and community policing.
In addition to receiving the same training as their municipal police counterparts, our officers are required to have bachelor’s degrees – rare for a police force. Our officers know what it’s like to be a college student and can see things through a student’s eyes.
To contact our department:
- Call 814-368-3211 from any non-campus phone
- Call 10333 from any campus phone
- For non-emergency calls please use 814-362-7500
- Email Rich Harsen, our director of campus police & safety
- Use one of the emergency phones located throughout campus.
Our Annual Security and Fire Safety Report includes safety tips and the Campus Police and Safety Statistical Report.
