DeKALB – The information in this report is compiled from the NIU Police Department’s Daily Crime Log.
Any case defined as “unfounded” was not included in this list. Any case “closed by exception” is closed due to circumstances outside of the investigation (missing a complainant, suspect was arrested for another crime, etc.). Any “suspended” case means the investigation is paused until leads become available. All case dispositions (“open” or “closed” statuses) are subject to updates. All locations provided are general.
