Cheyney University Police Department
Cheyney University employs a 24-hour Police and Security force aimed to serve, protect,and educate the campus community.
The Cheyney University Police Department enforces the laws, rules, and regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and of Cheyney University, thereby safeguarding the welfare of the university community.
Police Officers employed at Cheyney University receive their police powers from the Governor of Pennsylvania and have full power of arrest for any violation of law on campus property. University Police are responsible for enforcing all Federal, State and Local laws in addition to the rules and regulations of the University. University Police are responsible for investigating all reports of criminal activity on campus and to coordinate with other law enforcement agencies as needed.
Police Officers patrol all of the buildings on our campus around the clock every day of the year. Patrol may be conducted in vehicles, on foot or on police mountain bicycles. Police Officers not only respond to reported criminal incidents, but they also handle vehicle accidents, EMS incidents and a variety of service calls.
Cheyney Police work very closely with the surrounding municipal police departments daily to provide for a safe and secure environment throughout the entire community. We also work with the campus Office of Judicial Affairs and hold students accountable for their behavior both on and off campus.
