Crime Awareness and Campus Security ActThe Department of Public Safety at Harper College is a 24-hour law enforcement agency responsible for the safety and security of the Harper College community. Responsibilities of the department include enforcement of college rules and regulations, village and county ordinances, and state and federal laws. In addition we provide traffic control, grounds and building patrol, emergency first aid and CPR, jump starts and vehicle key retrieval.Public Safety, by law, is the central repository for all Lost and Found items recovered and stored at the College. If you have found an item, regardless of value, it must be turned over to the Department of Public Safety for safekeeping. If you have lost an item, inquire about it with Public Safety. Harper College police officers have the same authority as municipal and state officers as well as sheriff’s deputies. These duties include the authority to detain people, conduct investigations, gather evidence and make arrests. As such, all crimes and motor vehicle accidents that occur on campus should be immediately reported to the Department of Public Safety. Crime statistics and information required by the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990 are available at the Department of Public Safety which is located in the Public Safety Center. This same information is available at the Information Center, Student and Administration Center. Emergency call boxes are strategically located throughout campus parking lots. Locations can be identified during hours of darkness by noting the blue lights on parking lot light standards. The call boxes are immediately below these blue lights. Pushing the red emergency button puts you in direct contact with the Public Safety dispatcher. For emergencies, contact Public Safety at 847.925.6211. For parking permits or non-emergency information call 847.925.6330. Cellular telephone use 847.925.6211.
