 Subject: MASSMAIL - Campus Call Center Activated 

Dear member of the campus community:

As you likely know, there has been an increase in crimes against people in 
the campus area this semester. We have taken many steps to increase 
patrol, prevention and response efforts, including assigning additional 
officers to patrol residence halls and campus areas, as well as to follow 
up on leads. In recent weeks police have made more than 25 apprehensions 
surrounding campus assaults and robberies.

The latest incident, which happened in a residence hall bathroom, has left 
many members of the campus community, as well as parents and others 
concerned and wanting to talk with someone. I thank you for handling the 
calls that have come in to the campus today, and I write to let you know 
that the Office of the Dean of Students has activated a call center to 
handle such calls in the coming days. If you receive any calls from 
concerned students, parents or others about crime and safety on campus, 
please forward the caller to 217-333-0050. The center will be staffed 
during normal business hours, and overnight callers to the center can 
reach out to the Emergency Dean.

Sincerely,

Barbara O'Connor
Police Chief
