Parkland College Police Department

The Parkland College Police Department provides law enforcement for Parkland College in Champaign, Illinois, where the combined population of students, employees and visitors on campus tops 10,000 people. Its officers are commissioned by the state's Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board and hold the authority of conservators of the peace under state statute. They enforce college rules and Illinois law, and with mutual consent they also handle City of Champaign ordinance violations, covering traffic offenses, criminal violations, alcohol, illegal drugs and weapons. Officers are also certified EMRs who can assess and triage medical emergencies on campus, so the department asks that medical calls be phoned in whenever possible so officers can bring the right equipment. A 911 Room Alert icon on campus computers offers another way to summon help.

Public contact information is available for Parkland College Police Department, including 1 listed contact that officers can use for training coordination or general inquiries when provided by the department.
