Make yourself comfortable . . . . . . Since you use the campus at all hours, it's natural to start to think of the library, the Reynolds Club lounges, or other areas as extensions of your living room. Keep in mind that many University buildings are open to the public, and watch your personal possessions as you would in any public area. Calling the cops To call the University Police, dial 123 from any campus phone or use one of the more than 150 white emergency phones throughout the neighborhood. Off campus, dial 702-8181 for the University Police or 911 to reach the Chicago Police.
Officers are armed and fully empowered to make arrests.
The University Police and the City of Chicago Police Department work together by monitoring each other's calls within the University Police's coverage area. University Police headquarters is located at 5555 South Ellis Avenue.
