Muhlenberg College Campus Police

Weekend (and Thursday) safety reminders! If you or a friend needs assistance, do not hesitate to call. Campus Police along with .ems are on duty to assist YOU!

The mission of the Muhlenberg Department of Campus Safety and Police is to promote and maintain a safe, inclusive, and welcoming campus environment as they serve and protect the College community. To fulfill that mission, the department adheres to its core values of integrity, accountability, and service.
The department announces the implementation of their Body Worn Camera (BWC) program as part of the ongoing commitment to its mission and core values. Following guidelines established by the Department of Justice, research into BWCs and benchmarking of like institutions began in September of 2022. At the conclusion of this process, Campus Safety acquired Getac BWCs for every uniformed officer in the department. The Department of Campus Safety then conducted product testing to establish appropriate criteria for use of BWCs and officers were trained in their use guided by the policy that was developed in conjunction with College counsel.
The use of BWCs is a best practice by police departments across the nation and the research has proven that their use provides transparency and accountability, and that it contributes to de-escalation of heightened encounters. BWCs also have been shown to support professionalism and build greater community trust.
Campus Safety has initiated a testing period to pilot the BWCs and expects to implement this new safety feature fully within the next several weeks. The BWCs will be activated by officers during calls for service, and Campus Police Officers will inform individuals that the encounter is being audio and visually recorded. A red light will be displayed on the camera when in use. Casual student interactions will not be recorded.

Have a great first day back, Mules!

Please be aware of the new regulations for use of our indoor and outdoor athletic facilities! These regulations will be enforced by our officers and the athletics staff.

Additional Campus Police Officers are on duty throughout move-in and orientation weekend to ensure the safety of all new and returning Mules! 🚔

First Year move in is complete! A big thank you to all of our shifts for working overtime and working on their days off to ensure a successful and safe operation! Welcome Class of 2028! 🚔

To accommodate the arrival of the Class of 2028, parking restrictions listed below will be in place for students, faculty and staff on Thursday, August 22. With the permission of their manager, employees who are able to work remotely are encouraged to do so. As a reminder, Thursday is also a street-cleaning day for the City of Allentown, and public street parking will have additional restrictions.
23rd Street Lot: Closed
23rd Street: No street parking
26th Street: No street parking
Back Drive Lots: Closed. This includes the lots behind Taylor and Walson Halls, Trumbower Hall, and Haas College Center, including the lots adjacent to the Services Building, Copy Center, and Life Sports Center.
Front Circle: Closed for orientation and candle lighting

Prosser Hall Traffic Pattern: In order to keep the Robertson/South lot open this year the Prosser Hall Move-In traffic pattern will leave the Hoffman House and travel West onto Chew St, left onto Frat Drive (towards Fahy Commons), behind the Trexler Library and the Center for the Arts/Trexler Pavilion and across Chew St into the driveway for Prosser Hall
Note: This traffic pattern takes vehicles in the opposite direction of normal traffic flow and will be monitored by Campus Police officers starting at 7 AM.

A big shout out to Investigator Koury for putting some much needed decals on our ATV! These decals allow us to be easily identified when patrolling campus. The ATV also lets officers easily get around campus and get in places where patrol cars aren’t able to access! 🚔

The parking lots will soon be full! Enjoy the last few days of summer, Mules! 🚔

The Prosser Hall Lot is CLOSED to student and faculty parking! There will be construction equipment in the lot throughout the Seegers Union expansion project. We will reiterate NO parking for faculty and staff, no exceptions.

Yesterday the entirety of the campus safety and police team was able to get together for our pre-semester meeting! We were privileged to have members from across the college administration talk about some changes and updates on projects around campus! Our team is dedicated to providing the highest level of service for our campus community! 🚔

Middle and Night shifts were hard at work last night checking EVERY blue light emergency phone on campus before the start of the semester!
