Our number one goal is to ensure that our campus is a safe place to study and work. We strive for this ideal via a "Community Oriented Policing" philosophy, meaning our community always comes first.
Fingerprinting
The Police Department offers fingerprinting services to GovState community members on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. The cost of the service is $20 with a check made payable to Illinois State
Police. Applicants must present a valid picture ID. Results take approximately four to six weeks.
Lost & Found
Lost or found items of value (e.g., checkbook, credit card, cell phone, jewelry, cash, or license plates) are held in the Police Department. Lost and found items are also kept at the Welcome Center. Contact them at 708.534.4363. Neither the Police Department nor the university is responsible for lost and found items. Items turned in to an academic department must be forwarded immediately to the Welcome Center or Police Department.
Safety Escort Service
If requested, the GovState Police Department provides a visual or walking escort to and from any location on campus. To request an escort, contact the Department of Public Safety at 708.534.4900, or use any red emergency phone located inside the university or blue-light phone located throughout the campus.
Shuttle Service
During the academic year, the GovState Police Department
provides shuttle-bus services for the students, staff, and faculty. The shuttle schedule is reviewed each semester to provide the best services to the GovState community.
