Reporting Crime

It is very important that all crimes and incidents are reported to the Security Department and a Resident Counselor. When we are aware of incidents and trends, we can work with in-house resources to take appropriate steps to address the problem. When we are not able to handle the problem in-house, we have a strong working relationship with the Aurora Police Department, the State’s Attorney’s Office, the Kane County Sheriff’s Department, the Illinois State Police, and an entire network of other agencies that will assist us with the problem. We can also use this information to educate other students and staff about the problem, so they can protect themselves and their property from the same or related hazards.

Every security report documented is recorded electronically for data retrieval, efficient reproduction, effective trend matching, and effective data collection.

As an educational institution and by the status and age of all students at IMSA, we are required by law to report most crimes to the local police. Recent Illinois legislation mandates reciprocal information sharing between the school and the local police agency in certain situations.

None of this is possible if incidents are not reported in a timely and appropriate manner. Please contact IMSA Security to report any crimes or incidents. To contact Security anonymously, download our LiveSafe App.
