Bicycle Registration

Bicycle Registration

Community members may register their bicycles with the UIS Police Department. Registering your bicycle with the UIS Police adds your bicycle information to a database that allows for easy identification of ownership in case of lost, stolen, and/or recovered bicycles.

Crime Prevention

What does UIS do to make campus housing and other campus facilities safe for students and employees?

UIS controls the installation of lock-cores and the issuance of keys. All keys are coded with a core number and a personal ID number rather than room numbers, so lost or stolen keys cannot be matched with a particular room or building.

When students move into campus housing, they receive information on safety/security. Students are asked to help enforce security procedures. Personnel from campus housing are responsible for assisting locked-out housing residents.

Campus Safety

Who is in charge of campus security and law enforcement?

The UIS campus police department is responsible for law enforcement and security on UIS property. The campus police department is staffed 24 hours a day by trained police officers and police telecommunicators.

The campus police department uses two approaches in its efforts to prevent crime. First, eliminating or minimizing opportunity for crime; and second, encouraging students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others.

DR Test.

A 22-year veteran of the University of Illinois Springfield Police Department will continue to lead the force without an “interim” tag.

The school this week said interim police chief Ross Owens will be the next permanent chief. The move is pending approval from the U of I Board of Trustees, although those appointments typically go through without any trouble.
