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.
