Police Free Penn was created in June, 2020. Our aim is to abolish Penn’s ties to the prison industrial complex and to transform community safety within and beyond our institution. Penn must defund and disband its armed campus police, the largest private police department in Pennsylvania, which has deep and problematic ties to the Philadelphia Police.
