security500 Striving for Excellence:

Our commitment to the community is exemplified by being ranked number one for safety in the Higher Education sector by Security Magazine in 2007 and 2008. This great accomplishment is in part from the high level of dedication of the Division’s men and women, the strong collaboration of DPS’s security partners AlliedBarton and ADT along with the Philadelphia Police Department, Fire Department and other city, state and federal agencies.
