Safety

Penn State Schuylkill University Police and Public Safety

Penn State Schuylkill employs a full-service police department staffed with state-certified police officers.

Sergeant Steve Guers is responsible for the coordination of Penn State Schuylkill's University Police and Public Safety office.

The department is staffed 24 hours a day, while students are in residence, with sworn police officers charged with the responsibility of providing a safe environment to the campus community and its visitors. The police officers are also responsible for the enforcement of all traffic laws (Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code), Commonwealth Criminal Codes, and upholding University policies and regulations.

Police utilize vehicle and foot patrol to ensure the safety and well-being of all at Penn State Schuylkill. While providing performing patrol and code enforcement duties, the police provide training and assistance for crime prevention and respond to calls for service on campus such as property engraving, vehicle assistance (vehicle lockout and battery jumpstart), and walking escorts. Campus residents having any concerns regarding campus safety and / or security should report their concerns to Police Services. Where the problems need immediate attention (assaults, thefts, suspicious activity, etc.), Police Services should be contacted immediately in order to initiate appropriate action. Any follow-up investigations will be conducted by Police Services.
