The University of Pittsburgh at Titusville maintains a full-time (365 days a year) police department. The Campus Police Department is located on the first floor of Spruce Hall. The office is accessible through the main lobby of the residence hall or the outside office door located on the Spruce Street side of the building. All officers are Act 120 trained and certified and have the authority to enforce the Pennsylvania Crimes Code, Motor Code, and University rules and regulations at UPT.

The officers are trained in emergency response procedures, First Aid, CPR, and Act 180 (mandatory in-service training each year). In-service training programs are provided to the officers to keep them abreast of changing laws and familiarize them with procedures and policies related to campus safety and security.

In accordance with The College and University Security Information Act (Act 73 of 1988), all crimes on campus are reported to the Pennsylvania State Police. The Campus Police Department maintains a close working relationship with area law enforcement agencies, specifically the Titusville City Police Department, as UPT is within their jurisdiction. Criminal prosecution of incidents that occur on campus are referred to the local District Justice or to the Crawford County District Attorney's Office.

The Campus Police Department also investigates violations of the UPT Student Code of Conduct and generally refers these incidents to the Judicial Affairs Officer.

Emergency call boxes are located throughout the campus and ring directly into the Campus Police Department. Students, faculty, staff, and visitors are encouraged to use these telephones in the event of an emergency.

Everyone in the University Community is encouraged to report crime promptly and alert us to any unsafe conditions. If you have any information or questions, please contact the Campus Police Department, on campus at extension 4488, or off campus at 814-827-4488.
