On behalf of the members of the University Police, I want to welcome you to our web site. We encourage you to browse the various pages of information we have made available. You will find information about our organization including descriptions of our services, our mission, and our values. We have provided extensive information about security policies and procedures on the Penn State campuses, crime data, and crime prevention information. You will also find some University policies, rules, and regulations related to our areas of responsibility.

We are proud to be a part of Penn State and its tradition of excellence. It is our goal to provide the highest quality of public safety services to the University community. The men and women of the University Police are committed to making Penn State campuses a safe place to live, work, and study. However, we recognize that we can accomplish our mission only with the support and trust of the University community and through partnering with the community to carry out our programs.

We welcome your comments and concerns. Thank you for visiting our web site.
