Regardless of the campus location, call 9-1-1 in an emergency.

The Campus Police staff is made up of both law enforcement officers and student cadets and is on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the Sugar Grove Campus as well as during official campus hours at the Aurora Downtown Campus. Campuses located in other municipal jurisdictions receive law enforcement services through the local police department.

 

Campus Police Department Authority

Campus Police Officers have all of the powers of police officers in cities and sheriffs in counties, and the authority to enforce state laws and college regulations. This includes:

  • Enforcing county or city ordinances in all counties within the community college district
  • Apprehending and arresting anyone involved in illegal acts on campus or areas adjacent to the campus
  • Making arrests on view or on warrants for violations of state statutes

Campus Police cooperate fully with local law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute crimes occurring on campus. Additionally, Campus Police report and assist in the investigation of possible violations of the Code of Student Conduct to the Student Conduct Board or Human Resources Department for administrative review and action.
