Visit www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/upennalert<http://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/pennready/upennalert/> for information on how to register or update your contact information.

*   Penn Guardian
Use the Penn Guardian App<https://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/safety-initiatives/pennguardian/> to stay in touch with Public Safety.
Penn Guardian is a free app that allows Penn affiliates the ability to rapidly provide information about themselves to the Division of Public Safety during an emergency.
Calls from a registered phone will allow Penn Police to determine caller’s cell phone’s GPS location, which can decrease response time. This information will only be available to Penn Police when they call the Penn Emergency Communications Center (PennComm) directly, either through the app or at 215-573-3333.
If a call is made to PennComm, and the caller is unable to speak—perhaps because of an allergic reaction—a call taker will send a text message to the caller’s phone, allowing for communication directly via text.
The app provides a confidential way to submit a tip to Penn Police—with a photo, if necessary—through a text message.

Walk Back Program
The Division of Public Safety will be offering the Public Safety Walk-Back Program during reading days and final exams, from December 11 to December 22, 2021. An Allied Universal Public Safety Officer will be posted at the “Button” on Locust Walk from 10:00pm until 3:00am. Approximately every half hour the officer will enter Van Pelt-Dietrich Library to offer walking escorts to anyone in the building. The officer will then perform the escort and return to repeat the process.

The Division of Public Safety is providing this service in addition to its normal Walking Escort Programs. Uniformed Allied Universal Public Safety Officers provide escorts to campus locations. Officers are dispatched by radio and will accompany you from one campus location to another, to a Penn Transit Stop or to an on-campus SEPTA regional transit stop. Walking Escorts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To request a Walking Escort, call 215-898-9255 (898-WALK).
