What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Berks?

Penn State Berks reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, a late-night escort or transportation service, and electronically controlled residence-hall entrances. These measures are resources and procedures, not a guarantee of personal safety.

Students should learn how Penn State Berks issues emergency alerts, where to report an urgent incident, and how to seek help with sexual misconduct or other safety concerns. For an immediate emergency, call 911; campus-specific nonemergency contacts and reporting instructions should be checked in Penn State's current public-safety materials. The university's annual security report is the appropriate source for federally required crime disclosures and related policies. Its reported incidents cover defined locations and periods and should not be treated as a complete measure of everyone's experience.
