The UIC Police are fully-sworn officers who serve the University, UIC Medical Center and surrounding community. UIC Police investigate, arrest, and assist in the prosecution of offenders. UIC Police will provide testimony for proceedings in criminal and student conduct hearings. UIC Police will transport individuals to the emergency room and court appearances. The UIC Police cooperate with investigations conducted by the Chicago Police Department.

When an individual files a complaint with the UIC Police, the police document the information in a report and discuss various options with the victim for further action. If the victim wants to press charges, a police report is created, the individual is informed about the criminal process and the police conduct a criminal investigation. If the police determine that the elements of a crime have been met, they forward the police report to the State’s Attorney’s office who determines if offenses will be prosecuted. A copy of the police report may also be submitted to the Title IX Coordinator.

The UIC Police inform victims about available victim assistance and advocacy resources at the Campus Advocacy Network (CAN) and counseling support available at the Counseling Center.
