HARPER COLLEGE POLICE DEPARTMENT 

The men and women of the Harper College Police Department are here to serve the law enforcement needs of the campus community. We are on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are located in Building B.

Student success is our priority. We are frequently the first and most recognizable representatives of Harper College when community members arrive at the campus. We assist you with everything from patrolling the campus, to investigating crimes and traffic accidents, to serving as content experts in the classroom. We welcome opportunities to engage with the campus community and to keep Harper College a safe place to work and learn.

Historically, Harper College has been a safe campus; however, we ask that you assist us by reporting any suspicious activity you observe. Remember- If you see something- say something.

Finally, we do our best to provide the professional law enforcement services to the campus, but we always are looking for ways to improve. If you have a suggestion for us, please send us an email or call 847.925.6330.
