Crime and Fire Safety Statistics
The University Security Information Act and the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 require PennWest California to publish certain information and statistics and distribute them to students, employees and applicants.
The PennWest California Police Department is responsible for gathering statistical data from University Police crime statistics, University employees, campus judicial records, California Borough Police, Cecil Township Police and Pittsburgh Police. Information about criminal activity that students engage in at off-campus locations of PennWest California's student organizations is collected annually from the California Borough Police Department. See our glossary of crime-related terms compiled by the Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook.
If you wish to report crimes for inclusion in the campus security document, contact us at 724-938-4299. In seeking to maintain a safe, secure and educational setting, we encourage you to report crimes and other emergencies. Individuals who report crimes are not compelled to seek criminal prosecution of suspects.
