EMERGENCY SERVICES Campus Police Campus Police officers are
sworn police officers under state statutory authority and are trained to cope
with emergencies and other problems on campus and in the immediate area of
the campus. Their primary responsibilities are to protect the people and
property under their jurisdiction, to maintain peace and order, and to
protect constitutional rights. Campus Police officers investigate crimes and
enforce state criminal statutes, the Illinois Vehicle Code, and University
rules and regulations. All officers operate under the community policing
philosophy within defined "focus areas." Every officer has
ownership of a defined area where they work in partnership with their
community to help solve identified problems. Visit www.dps.uiuc.edu to
identify the officer assigned to a particular area of campus. Any incidents
on University property should be reported to them immediately. Call 9 + 911
from University phones (just 911 from all other phones) for emergency service
and police patrol officer assistance or 333-1216 for administrative calls.
The Campus Police office is located in the Public Safety Building at 1110
West Springfield, Urbana. SAFETY SERVICES Division of Environmental
Health and Safety The role of the Division of
Environmental Health and Safety (DEHS) is to advise and consult in matters
relating to the health and safety of faculty, staff, students, and visitors,
and in matters related to compliance programs for campus activities. DEHS
functions in direct support of the teaching, research, and public service
mission of the campus. Major program responsibilities within DEHS are
distributed among the Biological Safety Section (safe handling, transport,
use, and disposal of biological materials; quality assurance oversight of
research conducted according to Good Laboratory Practice regulations; and the
coordination of the campus medical surveillance program), the Chemical Safety
Section (safe handling, transport, use, and disposal of chemicals as well as
chemical waste minimization), the Environmental Compliance Section
(environmental permit and remediation oversight, environmental assessments,
and underground storage tanks), the Occupational Safety and Health Section
(accident injury prevention, asbestos management oversight, boiler and

campus has a mail-related need that the Mailing Center cannot fulfill, its
staff will locate the best service for the best price. The Mailing Center is another
location with a drop-off box for materials going to the Chicago campus via
the overnight shuttle. The Manager of the Mailing
Center (333-6101) is the official liaison between the campus and the United
