Penn ranked No. 1 for safety and security

Penn was recently ranked No. 1 in safety and security in the higher education sector, according to Security Magazine’s Security 500 list. This is the eighth consecutive year that Penn has taken the magazine’s top honors in its respective market.

The Security 500 Benchmarking Survey tracked 18 vertical markets, collecting unique data where appropriate, and applied the data to key metrics, which include the dedication of resources each organization makes to their safety and security programs. The survey received its information from data supplied directly by national universities and colleges, as well as data obtained through public resources and records.

“We are so grateful to be recognized for the eighth year in a row by Security Magazine as the No. 1 public safety organization in the country within the university market,” says Maureen Rush, vice president for public safety. “This accomplishment would not be possible without the continual support of our President Amy Gutmann, Executive Vice President Craig Carnaroli, Provost Vince Price, and the exceptional dedication of the people of the Division of Public Safety.”
