Welcome to the University of
Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign. The Division of Public Safety wishes you a SAFE and successful
year.
When it comes to safety, there are many issues that come to
mind.
Division of Public Safety One that is commonly
ignored, however, is your personal safety in getting from Point
“A” to Point “B”.
Sign up now for the
emergency messaging system on the U. of I. campus. The system
will provide alerts about crisis situations on campus by way of
mass text and e-mail messages.
Active Threat Information Situations involving “active shooters” and “active threats” are a serious concern for our nation’s university and college campuses. An “active threat” situation can happen anywhere beyond campuses and schools including malls, businesses, special events, and within the workplace. The University of Illinois Police Department (UIPD) routinely conducts training internally and with neighboring law enforcement agencies to provide an effective response to active threat situations. Illinois has an emergency operations plan that will guide and support the campus during such an event. The following information is presented to assist members of our campus community with their individual awareness and preparation. We pride ourselves on working with our community in order to provide a safe environment in which our students, faculty, and staff can study, conduct research, and work. Individual preparation and awareness is an important factor in working together.
In the interest of safety awareness on campus we wish to inform our
campus community of ongoing investigations that may have an effect on
the campus community. Below are the synopses and a link to follow for
more information.
