The purpose of the ISU PAC is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and to discuss issues impacting the Illinois State University community. These discussions are to be open, honest, and engaging in order to be as beneficial to all participants as possible. The ISU PAC is intended to act in a proactive manner to:

Build trust between the ISU Police Department and the campus community;
Address campus community concerns related to quality of life;
Discuss issues related to campus climate;
Discuss issues affecting public safety;
Discuss crime reduction programs with emphasis on the community policing philosophy;
Discuss evidence-based practices and criminal justice research; and,
Discuss how to improve upon the delivery of police services to the campus community.

The ISU PAC includes students, faculty, and staff from across campus and is currently chaired by Mboka Mwilambwe, Assistant Director in the Office of Equal Opportunity and Access. If you have any questions about the ISU PAC, please contact us at ISUPolice@IllinoisState.edu.
