KRF on-line bulletin board

Several people have asked how to contact the police after calling 911 in an emergency and not getting a response. The Police Dept recommends repeating the call to 911 and stressing the urgency of the situation.

In University City, you can also follow-up the second 911 call with direct calls to two other sources of assistance:

1. The Philadelphia police substation at 40th & Chestnut: 215-243-0667
2. The University of Pennsylvania Dept of Public Safety: 215-898-9255

These operations are on duty around the clock.
