Security Alerts are automatically sent via email to all members of the University community and anyone else who signs up to receive them. The alerts provide timely notification about significant crimes that have occurred on campus or immediately adjacent to campus, in which a community threat is perceived.
Crime Notices are timely notices about certain violent crimes that occur off campus but within the UCPD extended patrol area, and are reported to UCPD. They are sent via push notification on the UChicago Safe Mobile Safety App.
The Daily Crime Bulletin is an opt-in email, delivered each weekday (Monday through Friday, excluding University holidays). The bulletin provides information about serious crimes within the UCPD extended patrol area that are reported to UCPD.
