Operations, Procedures and Resources
About PCOM's Department of Public Safety
Founded in 1899, PCOM has operated across multiple campus sites, stretching from Center
City, Philadelphia, westward. The current Pennsylvania campus, located at 4170 City
Avenue, has served as the institution’s home since 1968. PCOM expanded its footprint
with the establishment of PCOM Georgia in Suwanee in 2004 and, later, PCOM South Georgia
in Moultrie in 2019.
Outside of campus, two healthcare centers are safeguarded by dedicated security personnel
and supported by comprehensive electronic surveillance systems. Staffed security posts
throughout each campus provide 24-hour protection, ensuring continuous monitoring
and rapid response. As part of its public safety responsibilities, the College also
conducts regular fire drills to maintain preparedness and compliance with safety standards.
Security Operations
Leadership
The Director of Public Safety is responsible for the administration and strategic
oversight of safety, security, and emergency management operations across all PCOM
campuses. This role ensures a safe, prepared, and well-supported campus community.
Each campus maintains both in-house and contracted security personnel.
PCOM Badges
PCOM community members are required to show their badges when entering the building.
Badges must be visibly worn at all times. To receive, replace, or request access with
your ID badge, contact the Access Control Department by emailing them at
pcomaccesscontrol@pcom.edu
.
Visitor Management
All visitors must sign in with the front desk security before entering the building.
Visitors include patients, family members of patients, contractors, or anyone not
part of the college community who are looking to perform a task on campus. Minors
(individuals 17 years old or younger) will not be able to sign in but must remain
with their signed-in guardian at all times. Visitors will receive a temporary badge
and must adhere it to the outermost garment, ensuring it is clearly visible to security
personnel.
Escort
Public Safety personnel can escort individuals to their vehicle, classroom, or doctor's
office upon request while on campus. Contact your Public Safety Department to request

Reporting an Incident
When reporting an incident, contact any security personnel on campus for help. Security
personnel are available 24/7 to respond to incidents that occur on PCOM properties.

to the public online. A request to review the Daily Crime Log can be made to the Public
Safety Department onsite or via email.

the safety of the campus community. Security personnel monitor cameras in real time
to check that exterior doors are secured and manage access to the campus building.
Law Enforcement
No member of the Public Safety team is armed or has arresting powers. The Department
of Public Safety maintains a memorandum of understanding with the local law enforcement
agency and collaborates with police agencies to ensure a swift and effective response
to campus emergencies.
