Nothing is more important than making the PennWest California campus a place where we all can live, learn and work in a safe, secure environment.
Statistics show that California is one of the safest college towns in Pennsylvania. And our professional PennWest California Police Department is on duty around the clock, every day of the year, to respond to emergencies, enforce the law and University regulations, and investigate incidents on campus.
Fire alarms and sprinkler systems are installed in all campus buildings, including residence halls and Vulcan Village apartments. Security cameras in key locations, and emergency call-boxes in parking lots and other public areas, also enhance security at PennWest California.
