The "team" concept refers to law enforcement involvement with stakeholder agencies, as well as interagency mutual assistance when appropriate.
Crime prevention programming helps to reduce crime through a range of security programs. A common theme of all crime prevention programs is to encourage students and employees to be aware of their responsibility for their own security and the security of others. The Bradley University Police Department facilitates crime prevention and sexual assault programs for students, parents, faculty and staff, student and community organizations and the Office of Residential Living & Student Conduct resident advisers throughout the year.
Bradley University Police Department treats all crime victims and witnesses with dignity, compassion, and respect. The experience of being a crime victim or witness is different for each person. It may involve physical injury, emotional turmoil or financial loss. Many people experience frustration or intimidation because the legal proceedings are complex and not easily understood. Our officers will assist you throughout.
