Prompt Reporting of a Crime, Criminal Behavior, or Emergency
REPORT ELECTRONICALLY
Use the Anonymous Incident Reporting Form located at ready.uic.edu
UIC provides members of the university community with an electronic
reporting option. The reporting person has the option to submit a
Voluntary Report if they would like to provide contact information to
allow for follow-up by the UICPD, or by the Title IX Coordinator for
responses to reports of sexual misconduct. The reporting person
may also choose to submit an Anonymous Report, where identifying
information may be withheld to maintain confidentiality.
In response to the submission of the electronic Anonymous Incident
Reporting Form, the UICPD, and/or the Title IX Coordinator in response
to reports of sexual misconduct, may contact the reporting person
(when the reporting person’s contact information is provided) for
more information or to connect the reporting person to resources.
Submissions will be reviewed in order to compile crime statistics
for Clery Act reporting and to help determine if there is a serious or
continuing threat to the safety of the campus community that would
require an alert (i.e., a timely warning or emergency notification).
4. 4 Individuals with
“significant
responsibility
for student or
campus activities”
(e.g., certain staff in
Campus Housing,
Intercollegiate Athletics,
Center for Student
Involvement, etc.)
Note: Except in the case of reports made
to a Campus Police Department, reporting
to a CSA is NOT the same as filing a formal
police report. To file a police report, law
enforcement must be contacted directly.
REPORT TO A CAMPUS SECURITY AUTHORITY
(CSA)
When a CSA witnesses, or receives a report of, criminal incidents, they
are required to forward certain information about such incidents to
law enforcement. In response to a CSA report, the UICPD, and/or the
Title IX Coordinator in response to reports of sexual misconduct, may
contact the CSA or the reporting person (when the reporting person’s
contact information is provided) for more information or to connect the
reporting person to resources. CSAs may also offer a reporting person
additional options for reporting and support.
CSAs are required to submit the following information to law
enforcement about Clery-reportable crimes:
• Date and time crime occurred
• Date and time crime was reported to CSA
• Type of crime
• Location of crime
In cases of reported sexual misconduct, CSA are also Responsible
Employees, and must forward additional incident information to the
Title IX Coordinator, including the identities of individuals involved.
Information about the university’s response to reported crimes involving
sexual misconduct, including the reporting of Violence Against Women
Act (VAWA) crimes (dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault,
or stalking), is located in the VAWA section of this report.
