Call WALK anytime to request an escort. We encourage you to use this free service provided for your safety and wellbeing. 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 Program , described below.
Officers are dispatched by radio and will accompany you from one campus location to another, to your parked vehicle, to a Penn Transit Stop or to an on-campus SEPTA regional transit stop. Available 24 hours a day, days a year, between 30th to 43rd Streets and Market Street to Baltimore Avenue.
All of these public safety officers, though unarmed, with no powers of arrest or investigation, maintain direct radio communications with our PennComm emergency dispatching center, and supplement the University of Pennsylvania Police Department, through additional patrols and walking escorts. These self-defense trainings empower individuals through communication and physical defense.
