Our Mission
The Northwestern University Police Department, as a functional unit of the Department of Safety & Security, serves a vibrant and diverse university community of about 31,000 faculty, staff and students, as well as thousands of daily visitors on the Evanston and Chicago campuses — around the clock, every day of the year. We are committed to a collaborative and transparent approach to campus safety that engenders the highest level of respectful engagement and equitable services to all, to foster an environment where learning, working and research can continue to thrive at Northwestern.
