Welcome to the Chicago State University
Police Department

The CSU Police Department operates around the clock to serve the university community. The primary objective of the Department is to assure the safety of all students, faculty, staff and visitors of the university.

State of Illinois police officers have full law enforcement authority granted by the Illinois General Assembly. University police officers work with the Illinois State Police, Cook County Sheriff’s Department, the Chicago Police Department and other state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Our services include patrolling the campus and buildings on foot and in vehicles; crowd control, and traffic enforcement. We provide student escorts for pedestrians after dark. The Police Department also conducts investigations, when necessary, of incidents of criminal activity.
