The Public Safety Alert Notice will include the crime or incident, location, description of the perpetrators, time and date of occurrence, and any other information deemed necessary.
Anyone with information warranting a Public Safety Alert Notice should report the incident to the Public Safety Department by phone at 215-596-7000, or in person at the Public Safety Office, which is located at 4500 Woodland Avenue.
The USP community is encouraged to check the DPS Alerts and the Daily Crime Log on a regular basis so you can take the necessary precautions to “Help Us, Help You.”
