The BUPD police officers have authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts on or off campus. If the offense is committed by a Bradley student, incident reports are reviewed by the Office of Residential Living & Student Conduct for potential action by the Student Judicial System. The BUPD provides police services for Bradley owned on- and off-campus buildings, student residences, fraternity and sorority residences, and the near off-campus areas. The BUPD also is a part of the Peoria County 9-1-1 Emergency System. The BUPD shares jurisdiction of the campus with the Peoria County Sheriff's Department and the Peoria Police Department; maintaining close working relationships with those agencies as well as the Illinois State Police.
