The University Police Department is the primary law enforcement authority at The ²ü¶¶Ð¡ÃÛÌÒ. University Police Officers have full law enforcement powers, including the authority to make arrests for criminal violations on University property.

Our department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with 15 full time sworn Police Officers, 3 Service Officers, 4 Police Dispatchers, 20 Student Officers, and over 250 security cameras on and around campus. University Police includes other departments such as Parking Services, Emergency Communications, and Environmental Health & Safety.

These entities work in unison with each other to ensure that The ²ü¶¶Ð¡ÃÛÌÒ is a place where living and learning can flourish.

On March 30th 2016, The ²ü¶¶Ð¡ÃÛÌÒ Police Department became Accredited by the PA Chiefs of Police Association when the PLEAC Commission voted unanimously to accredit UPD.

Less than 10% of police agencies in Pennsylvania are PLEAC accredited, with University Police being 1 of only 8 private colleges and universities in PA meeting all 128 standards required for accreditation.

It is a huge accomplishment for our department, and we look forward to continuing the delivery of a caring, competent, and professional police service.
