Working Relationship with Local Police Agencies

Trinity International University is located in Bannockburn, Illinois, a village with a reputation for safety and minimal crime.  Campus Safety & Security Services maintains a very close and positive working relationship with the Bannockburn Police Department, as well as county, state and federal authorities.  Campus Safety & Security Services serves as the university's primary contact with civil law enforcement and fire authorities.  

Bannockburn police headquarters is located 1 ½  miles from campus, thereby facilitating both frequent patrols through campus and very quick response in case of emergency.  The Deerfield-Bannockburn Fire Department has a station directly adjacent to campus property facilitating quick response by fire trucks and ambulances.  These agencies respond promptly when the University requests their assistance. However, in all situations, Security Officers are expected to provide all possible assistance, provided assistance can be given without endangering the officer or others involved in the incident.
