Public Safety
Message from the Director of Public Safety
On behalf of the men and women of the Department of Public Safety, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Rosemont College. I want to assure you that the Department of Public Safety will be working around the clock to maintain a safe atmosphere for faculty, staff, students, and visitors alike. We believe that safety is a shared responsibility and ask that you join us in making our campus, as well as our local community, a safe and joyful place.
Working together we will make the Rosemont community a safe one for living and learning. I welcome your comments, suggestions, and ideas for making Rosemont College an even safer environment.
Campus crime, arrest and referral statistics include those reported to the Department of Public Safety, officials designated as Campus Security Authorities, Lower Merion Police Department and the Philadelphia Police Department.
Criminal incidents, fires, emergencies or any type of suspicious activity on campus or in the area adjacent to the College should be promptly reported to the Department of Public Safety by dialing 2555 from any campus phone or 610-527-1038 from any other phone. Public Safety Officers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
When calling, stay calm and carefully explain the problem and location to the officer. Do not hang up until told to do so. Keep calm and keep others calm.
A Public Safety Officer is immediately dispatched to the location where he or she will evaluate the situation and contact the necessary authorities. Public Safety Officers will assist crime victims by contacting the appropriate police/service agency, providing transportation, and other reasonable services to encourage accurate and prompt reporting of criminal offenses. All victims of crime are encouraged to file a report with the local police departments.
The purpose of the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) is to establish, through planning sessions, discussions, and lessons learned, a set of emergency procedures to assist Rosemont College in managing and responding to any emergency that may arise.
In the event of an emergency on campus (or for weather related closing) a text message is one way to alert the Rosemont community. You can chose to send a text message to your cell phone, email account, or both.
