Patrol Division

Patrol officers respond to crimes in progress, traffic accidents, reports of suspicious activity, and requests for assistance. These range from disabled motorists to staff members locked out of their offices. Patrol officers conduct initial investigations of most crimes reported on campus and are often the first point of contact that the campus community has with the CSU Police Department. With thousands of pedestrians, bicycles and motor vehicles on campus, the university police must work very hard to enforce traffic laws.

Using radar detectors, DUI testing equipment and traffic citations, the CSU police officers enforce the rules of the road to the fullest extent of the law.

Speed Limit

The speed limit on the Chicago State University campus is 25 miles per hour unless otherwise posted, and it is strictly enforced. The CSU Police Department is also empowered to enforce traffic laws on the adjacent city streets and in the nearby communities.

Liquor and Drugs

Any person who operates a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, narcotic drugs or opiates will be subject to arrest.
