Student Success Center

Police and Safety

Gannon Police & Safety is located on the west side of the lower level of the Harborview Apartments. The Police & Safety office employs nine full-time Police Officers. There are three full-time and two part-time Switchboard operators who also serve as the police dispatchers.

Campus Police and Safety operates 24-hours a day, every day of the year, which includes someone on the switchboard to answer phone calls and dispatch police officers. We also have an Office Manager and a Parking Assistant who handle the parking assignments, Card IDs, and a wide array of other duties.

We are committed to the safety of the Gannon community, anyone visiting our campus, and to those that travel through or live in our jurisdiction. Gannon University has over 550 cameras and 12 emergency callboxes which help us deter crime and solve investigations. Officers patrol on foot, in marked police vehicles, and on bicycles.

Knight Watch

Police and Safety oversees a van shuttle service called Knight Watch. This shuttle service is driven by student workers and operate the van in our general area to provide safe transportation for our students at night.

This van is available Sunday through Thursday 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. with extended hours on Friday and Saturday operating until 3:00 a.m. You can call the Knight Watch service through Gannon’s LiveSafe app.

LiveSafe

Gannon uses the LiveSafe app as a campus safety platform. Students, faculty and staff have been able to use the app for emergencies, to report suspicious activity and to hail the Knight Watch van for rides home. It also allows students and staff to virtually walk each other home for safety, a panic call option, a campus directory, and campus map.
