TheDepartment of Public Safety consists of the University PoliceDepartment; 17 full-time police officers who have receivedtheir training under Act 120 (the Municipal Police Officers’Education and Training Act), and their police commissionfrom the governor and the Secretary of Education ofPennsylvania, as well as the University Safety Department,which is staffed by a Safety Coordinator and a Safety Clerk.University police officers are also required to attend annualupdate training under PA Act 180.All full-time employees of the Department of PublicSafety, in addition to any mandated or specialty training, alsoreceive in-service training annually which includes CPR andfirst aid training.The Department of Public Safety encourages all campusfaculty, staff, students and guests to act responsiblyand to report criminal activity in a timely manner toensure a safe campus environment for everyone.What is the enforcement authority of Public Safetypersonnel?University police officers have full authority to enforceall commonwealth and federal laws as well as any applicableuniversity policies. The University Police Departmentis the police department of jurisdiction on the ShippensburgUniversity campus. University police authority includes thepower of arrest on campus property. University police officersmay also initiate campus judicial board proceedings for violationsof the Student Code of Conduct, as a sole process forresolution or in addition to criminal charges.What is the SU policy on reporting criminal incidentsto State and Local Police?The University Police Department investigates all incidentsinvolving criminal activity it receives. The departmentmay also coordinate investigations with other outside agencies4

as needed. The university does not have written agreementswith other agencies, however, Pennsylvania legislation, Act48, allows University police officers to act outside the campuslimits and with other agencies under specific conditions.All university crime statistics are reported monthly tothe Pennsylvania State Police for use in the Uniform CrimeReport and arrest information for offenses as required by statecriminal history record retention laws.What is the SU policy on encouraging the reporting ofcrime?Shippensburg University and the police departmentstrongly encourage faculty, staff, students, and guests to reportany illegal or suspicious activity in a timely manner tothe University Police. Those incidents reported to pastoraland professional counselors are not included in campus crimestatistics, however reports of criminal activity that are broughtto the attention of the Dean of Students, Residence Life andHousing Services, any student organization or activity advisor,athletic coaches, intramural sport advisors and medical healthprofessionals are required to be reported and they should bebrought to the attention of the police department either bythe victims or by the person receiving the report as soon aspossible after the report is received. Forms have been providedto those on campus identified as Campus Security Authoritiesfor these reports. Those who report criminal incidents to pastoralor professional counselors are encouraged to voluntarilyreport the incident to the police department on a confidentialbasis. If off campus, individuals are encouraged to reportcrimes to the local police in a timely manner.Providing safety and security are the primary responsibilitiesof the Department of Public Safety and our main goal isto serve and protect the university community. This however,is a goal we cannot achieve alone. We need the cooperationof everyone in the community. As members of the universitycommunity, we all have a moral responsibility and a personalinterest in the maintenance of a safe environment on campusfor all to enjoy. Taking responsibility and reporting crime andsuspicious activities in a timely manner will be beneficial toyou, the university and the entire community.What are the procedures for students and others toreport criminal activity or other emergencies occurringon campus and how does the University respond?The campus community can report criminal activityon campus by calling the University Police Department at(717) 477-1444 (campus extension 1444), in person at theUniversity Police station located in the Reed OperationsCenter, or by using one of the provided emergency phones.5

These emergency phones are located in various areas throughoutthe campus and report directly to the University Policestation when activated. (See map on page 14 for locations.)Anyone on campus needing assistance in a medical or fireemergency should dial 911.Even if victims of crime do not wish to pursue criminalor judicial charges, they are still encouraged to file a confidentialreport with the Student Affairs Division, or with theUniversity Police. This allows for information about the incidentto be documented and analyzed while protecting theidentity of the reporting person. Having the university communityfile reports for all incidents that occur on campus allowsthe university to accurately report the number of criminalincidents and determine whether crime patterns are presentto protect the campus community from future criminal acts.The University Police Department maintains a 24-hourdispatch center, which is staffed by a police officer, to answerall calls for assistance. Upon receiving a request for assistance,an officer along with any other appropriate personnel willbe immediately dispatched to the location. In cases involvingcriminal activity, University police officers will respondand conduct an investigation. Information regarding all citationsor arrests made by University Police for criminal violationson campus is forwarded to the Office of Judicial Affairs.Arrests of university students by municipal or state policeagencies that are brought to the attention of the UniversityPolice Department are also forwarded to the Office of JudicialAffairs. All students are held accountable for their behavior onand off campus property.How and when does SU notify the campus communityof emergency response and evacuation procedures?Shippensburg University’s emergency preparedness planningincludes information about university operating statusparameters; incident priorities and performance expectations;shelter in place and evacuation guidelines; and local contingencyand continuity planning requirements. Individualuniversity departments are responsible for developing contingencyplans and continuity of operations plans for theirrespective staffs and areas of responsibility. Members of theSU Department of Public Safety (SUDPS) assist departmentsin creating their plans. The university annually conducts variousemergency response exercises, such as table-top exercisesand field exercises, and the emergency notification systemsare tested on a regular basis. These tests are designed to assessand evaluate the emergency plans and capabilities of theinstitution.SUDPS officers and supervisors have received trainingin incident command and responding to critical incidents on6

campus. When an incident occurs that causes an immediatethreat to the campus, the first responders to the scene are usuallyUniversity Police. Once they respond, they typically workwith members of the Shippensburg Borough police and firedepartments, and the Pennsylvania State Police to manage theincident. Other local, state, or federal agencies may also be involvedin responding depending on the nature of the incident.General information about the emergency response andevacuation procedures for SU are publicized each year as partof the institution’s Clery Act compliance efforts.All members of the university community are notified onan annual basis that they are required to notify the SUDPS ofany situation or incident on campus that poses a significantemergency or danger that may involve an immediate or ongoingthreat to the health and safety of the campus. SUDPS isresponsible to respond to and summon the necessary resourcesto mitigate, investigate, and document any situation that maycause a significant emergency or dangerous situation. In addition,SUDPS will respond to such incidents to determineif the situation does pose a threat to the community. If it isdetermined that there is a threat, the appropriate universityofficials will immediately notify the campus community or theappropriate segments of the community that may be affectedby the situation.How and when does SU inform the campus aboutan immediate threat and what is the SU policy onnotifying the campus community of an emergency?The Shippensburg University Crisis CommunicationsPlan and the Emergency Notification Systems Protocolscover official mass communication methods to ensure effectiveand efficient communication and provide accurate andtimely emergency notifications and information to the campuscommunity for situations that are considered a danger oran emergency.When SUDPS confirms that an emergency or dangeroussituation poses an immediate threat to the health or safety tosome or all members of the campus community, the Directorof Public Safety will determine the content of the messageand will use some or all of the systems described below tocommunicate to the campus community, or to the appropriatesegment of the community, if the threat is limited to a particularbuilding or segment of the population.A member of the Department of Public Safety will informthe Executive Director for University Communications &Marketing of any dangerous or emergency situation of whichit is aware that may present an ongoing or continuing threat sothat the campus community may be alerted. This notificationincludes any incident that poses a serious threat to the campus7

community that is reported to the university, whether the incidentoccurred on campus or at a nearby off-campus location.In these situations, a “Safety Alert” will be issued to all universitymembers through multiple communication methods. TheDirector of Public Safety will, without delay and taking intoaccount the safety of the community, determine the content ofthe notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuinga notification will, in the judgment of the first responders(including, but not limited to SUDPS, ShippensburgBorough Police Department, Pennsylvania State Police, and/or Shippensburg fire and emergency medical services), compromisethe efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to,or otherwise mitigate the emergency.The university relies on a series of varied communicationmethods to provide information during an emergency ordangerous situation. These communication methods include,but are not limited to, emergency text messaging system, e-mail, change websites to reflect information, outdoor/indoorpublic address systems, emergency broadcast system (EBS) oncampus radio/TV stations, computer screen pop-up system,and social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Use of thetext alert system is the first method used in all life-threateningsituations and the information sent to all registered users.Other information, such as a description of the event(s), adescription of suspects and related pertinent crime preventioninformation may also be provided.Initial emergency communications will be sent immediatelyand will convey only the most critical information.Details will be carried on the university’s homepage, whichwill be updated as circumstances dictate.Shippensburg University’s Crisis Communications Planis part of the university’s overall planning in response to variouspossible emergencies. While each crisis is different, thisplan provides guidelines for the various methods the universitywill use to communicate with our constituencies whichinclude, but are not limited to, students, faculty, staff associates,administrators, parents, alumni, and external groups.In the event of a serious incident that poses an immediatethreat to members of the SU community, the university hasvarious systems in place to communicate information quickly.The main objective of the plan is to provide informationquickly and effectively to appropriate audiences. The plan isreviewed periodically to ensure that it meets the needs of thecampus community and is current with changing technologies.The university will issue an “all clear” message to conveythe university’s return to normal operations to all faculty, staffand students via university assigned e-mail accounts, the university’swebsite, and text message to “SU Alert” subscribers.8

Anyone with information about criminal and/or inappropriateactivity that may warrant notification to the campuscommunity should contact the University Police Departmentat (717) 477-1444 or in person at the University PoliceDepartment in Reed Operations Center (Building #13 oncampus maps). All information received will be analyzed bythe SUDPS to determine the threat level of the incident tothe campus. Anyone with information regarding an incidentreported through a “Safety Alert” is encouraged to report thatinformation to the appropriate law enforcement agency asnoted in the alert.SUDPS officers conduct safety presentations for newstudents during orientation programs at the beginning of eachsemester. Presentations regarding safety, crime prevention andsecurity issues are available to all faculty and staff, and studentorganizations throughout the year. Safety, security, and crimeprevention information is also available in brochures from theSUDPS office in Reed Operations Center. Criminal incidentinformation is available 24 hours a day from the department’sdaily incident log to those persons requesting this information.On-campus Emergencies (Police)Department of Public SafetyReed Operations Center(717) 477-1444 orext. 1444On-campus Emergencies (Fire, Medical) DIAL 911Off-campus EmergenciesDIAL 911(Police, Fire, Medical)Shippensburg Borough Police Dept.(717) 532-736160 West Burd St., Shippensburg, PA 17257Pennsylvania State Police(717) 249-2121Carlisle Barracks, 1538 Commerce Ave., Carlisle,PA 17013What are the campus evacuation procedures?Evacuation plans are posted in all academic buildings onevery floor and on every residence hall room’s interior door inall residence hall rooms. The campus community is encouragedto become familiar with these plans in the event of anemergency evacuation. The evacuation notification may bemechanical (fire alarm system) or verbal (police or emergencypersonnel). Upon notification, proceed to the nearest stairtower to exit the building (do not use elevators). Once outsideof the structure, move away from the entrances to allowemergency personnel to gain access. Public Safety will instructyou where to go (alternate facility, re-entry).

Wait until help arrives (residencestaff or public safety) to assist you with exiting the building.Testing of Emergency Procedures and EvacuationEmergency evacuations are practiced annually, (fall semester)in all academic buildings. Systems are exercisedmonthly to assure system integrity for emergency conditions(evacuations are not done at these times). Residence hallsperform monthly (three per semester) evacuation drills andrecord any problems during the evacuation.The purpose of evacuation drills is to prepare buildingoccupants for an organized evacuation in case of fire or otheremergency. During the drill, occupants practice drill proceduresand familiarize themselves with the location of exitsand the sound of the fire alarm. In addition to educating theoccupants of each building about the evacuation proceduresduring the drills, the process also provides the Universitywith an opportunity to test the operation of fire alarm systemcomponents.What is the SU policy about access to the University’sfacilities and programs by students, employees,guests and others?University facilities are open to the public during normalbusiness hours. All individuals accessing university facilitiesmust adhere to all federal and state laws as well as all universitypolicies.
