REPORTING OF CRIMINAL
ACTIONS OR OTHER
EMERGENCIES OCCURRING
ON CAMPUS
UIC encourages crime victims and witnesses to
immediately report criminal activity or emergencies
occurring on campus by calling the UICPD at
(312) 355-5555 (for Chicago campuses); calling
the University of Illinois at Springfield Police
Department (UISPD) at (217) 206-7777 (for
the Springfield Regional Campus); or calling the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Police
Department (UIUCPD) (for the Urbana-Champaign
Regional Campus) or a local law enforcement
agency (for all other regional campuses) at 911.
Witnesses and others are also encouraged to assist
in the prompt and accurate reporting of criminal
actions and emergencies to the UICPD, UISPD,
UIUCPD, or to local law enforcement when the
victim of a crime elects to or is unable to make
such a report. Police reports in the State of Illinois
are public records, and Illinois law enforcement
agencies cannot hold reports of crime in confidence.
Reports for certain crimes made to campus police
departments and other Campus Security Authorities,
and those requested from other law enforcement
agencies with jurisdiction over UIC geography,
are counted and disclosed in UIC’s annual crime
statistics. Identifying information included in incident
reports is not disclosed in UIC’s annual reporting of
crime statistics; the identity of the reporting individual
may only be shared with the required offices (i.e.,
incidents of sexual misconduct with the Title IX
Coordinator, and student conduct violations with the
Dean of Students).

RESPONSE TO A REPORTED
CRIME, CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR,
OR EMERGENCY
In response to a reported crime, criminal
behavior, or an emergency, the UICPD
or local law enforcement will take the
required action, either dispatching an
officer or asking the victim to present to
the appropriate police office to file an
incident report. All UICPD incident reports
are reviewed by the Investigations Unit
Supervisor, and when appropriate, assigned
to a detective for follow-up investigation
and/or forwarded to the State’s Attorney’s
Office for prosecution. In cases of reported
sexual misconduct (including, but not
limited to, rape, fondling, incest, statutory
rape, dating violence, domestic violence,
and stalking), responding staff, including
the UICPD, will offer the victim a variety
of support services. Information about the
university’s response to reported crimes
involving sexual misconduct, including
the reporting of Violence Against Women
Act (VAWA) crimes (i.e., dating violence,
domestic violence, sexual assault, or
stalking), is located in the VAWA section of
this report.
