Prompt <strong>Report</strong>ing of a Crime, Criminal Behavior, or Emergency<br />

In response to a reported crime, criminal<br />

behavior, or emergency, the Rockford Police<br />

Department (RPD) will take the required<br />

action, either dispatching an officer or asking<br />

the victim to present to the RPD to file an<br />

incident report. Since the UIC Rockford<br />

Regional Campus does not have its own<br />

police force, the RPD provides periodic<br />

patrols at the campus. Police reports will<br />

be generated for all criminal activity on<br />

campus. Follow-up investigations of reported<br />

criminal activity are conducted on a caseby-case<br />

basis. In cases of reported sexual<br />

misconduct (including, but not limited<br />

to, rape, fondling, incest, statutory rape,<br />

dating violence, domestic violence, <strong>and</strong><br />

stalking), responding staff, including RPD,<br />

will offer the victim a variety of support<br />

services. Information about the university’s<br />

response to reported crimes involving sexual<br />

misconduct, including the reporting of<br />

Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) crimes<br />

(i.e., dating violence, domestic violence,<br />

sexual assault, or stalking), is located in the<br />

VAWA section of this report.<br />
