Can someone 'splain to me what the University City Ambassador Services is all
about? I can call Penn if I need my car towed???
(of course, I don't have a car)
In general, they are a group of individuals who provide an additional "uniformed presence" in the neighborhood.
The UCD [ University City District - http://www.universitycitydistrict.org ]
has a number of individuals variously on foot, bicycle and motor vehicle. They are termed "University City Ambassadors" since they are neither police nor intended to intervene as such.
They ARE radio equipped, however, and operate in conjunction with with the University of Pennsylvania Police (which are sworn officers).

For some reason (I can guess about a dozen) the Philadelphia Police are no longer allowed to carry "jimmies" and to open locked cars for people with lost keys (aka lock-out service).
However, the UCD does offer a "lock-out" service, if you have lost your keys. You have to sign a waiver that the car really does belong to you AND provide "serious" identification, preferably vehicle registration and your driver's license. Call 215 387 3942.
They can also provide "jump start" service.
Both services are available from 8am to 3am 7 days a week.
