2007-2008 Public Safety Annual Report
Vice President Maureen Rush is proud to offer the Division of Public Safety’s combined 2007 and 2008 Annual Report.
This year in an effort to contribute to Penn’s overall sustainability initiative, Public Safety printed limited copies of the Annual Report. The Report will instead be widely distributed electronically and made available on the web for anyone to view or download.
The Report highlights the many accomplishments and strategic initiatives implemented by the Division to provide the highest level of safety and security across the University.
South Street Bridge is Officially Closed!
The South Street Bridge has officially been closed as of December 8, 2008 to ALL vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
The reconstruction of Philadelphia's South Street Bridge will have an impact on the day-to-day operations of commuting to and from Penn and its Health System. This specially designed website offers Penn faculty, students, staff, alumni, visitors, and vendors helpful information for navigating Penn's campus during the City of Philadelphia's reconstruction of the Bridge.
To learn more about the closure and how you can make a plan, visit the SSBridge website by clicking on the picture above or visit: www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/ssbridge.
Operation Theft Awareness
OPERATION THEFT AWARENESS is an educational campaign, launched in collaboration with the Undergraduate Assembly (UA), Graduate and Student Professional Assembly (GAPSA), United Minorities Council (UMC) and the Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT), to further promote the idea that "Safety & Security is a Shared Responsibility."
The goal is to educate all members of the Penn community and visitors to our University City retail stores and restaurants about the dangers of leaving personal items unattended or improperly secured. With the overall success of the campaign's launch in January of 2008, Operation Theft Awareness has now become an on going educational component to the Division's public safety program.
