Temple University

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Temple University?

Temple has a university police and public-safety operation, emergency communications, and resources for reporting incidents. Its reported measures include around-the-clock security patrols, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence-hall entrances, and late-night transportation or escort options.

Students can use Temple's emergency alerts and public-safety guidance to learn about urgent incidents and response procedures. The university also publishes an annual security report with Clery Act crime statistics and policy information. Those statistics cover defined locations and reporting periods; they are not a complete measure of everything a student might encounter in Philadelphia.

For an immediate emergency, call 911 or use Temple's published emergency contact channels. Students seeking help after sexual misconduct can review Temple's reporting, confidential-support, and Title IX resources; the appropriate route depends on whether they need immediate safety assistance, confidential care, or a formal university response.
