University Police & Public Safety

Penn State provides extensive resources for students and employees to report and seek support for sexual misconduct, including confidential counseling, medical care, and legal assistance.

The beginning of a new semester at Penn State marks more than just the start of classes. For many students, the new semester also marks their first time living on their own — and with that independence also comes the need for personal responsibility for one’s own safety and security. 

Penn State University Police and Public Safety is urging Penn State football fans to be wary of ticket scams, which have become prevalent over the past several seasons.

Penn State Student Affairs, in partnership with the Hazing Prevention Network, will host a two-day inaugural Hazing Prevention Workshop starting Aug. 1 at the University Park campus.

In January, University Police and Public Safety announced the completion of its 911 addressing project, which resulted in the addressing of all buildings at University Park and 21 of Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses. Effective July 1, all faculty, staff and students should begin using these new addresses for their mailing needs.
