Crime Victim Assistance

If you have been a victim of a property theft crime please take a few moments to read the following. The Public Safety Department regrets your loss and wishes to assist you in every way possible. The following information may be of assistance to you:
  1. If they have been stolen, cancel all credit cards, checks, and bank cards. This should be done by phone and followed up by a letter.
  2. Notify someone immediately to watch your home if your keys have been taken. Be sure to change your locks on all doors.
  3. Make a report with the Chicago Police Department (dial 311) and with the DePaul Public Safety Department.
  4. Report a stolen drivers license to the Office of the Illinois Secretary of State.
  5. Report the loss of a voter registration card.
  6. Serial numbers are important in the recovery of stolen property. Stolen items are recovered and can be traced by their serial numbers. It is important that you know the serial numbers of your equipment. You may report them after the initial report has been made.
  7. DePaul University does not carry insurance for the theft of personal property. If personal property has been stolen from you, we suggest that you contact your insurance agent for possible coverage from your homeowners or automobile insurance.
