Resources

The University of Chicago Police Department (UCPD) responds quickly in an emergency, but that's not all they do. Here are just a few of the services we provide to residents throughout our patrol area.

Umbrella Coverage

If you're concerned about your safety as you walk in our patrol area, call us at 773.702.8181. We'll send the first available patrol car to follow you to your destination.

Safety Awareness Presentations

UCPD officers regularly attend community meetings and events to share safety information. To schedule a visit to your event contact the UCPD Community Services Division at 773.702.6008.

Bicycle Registration

You can register your bike with the UCPD by contacting the Community Services Division at 773.702.6008 and we'll give your bike a numbered identification sticker and put it on record with the Chicago Police Department.

Jumper Cables

Car won't start? Call 773.702.8181, and an officer will bring you a battery jump box. (The officer cannot use the squad car to jump your car, however.)

Whistlestop

Blowing a whistle brings help when you need it. You can purchase a whistle for $2 by contacting the UCPD Community Services Division at 773.702.6008

Laptop Stop Tags

A laminated bar code on your laptop computer will allow it to be traced if lost or stolen. Contact the UCPD Community Services Division at 773.702.6008 for more information.
