Emergency call boxes situated around campus make it quick and convenient to request personal assistance, report suspicious activity and help prevent crime on campus.
In order to provide a safe environment for everyone who uses the campus facilities, there are 15 emergency call boxes in the parking lots and nine call boxes installed along the two-mile walking/jogging trail.
All of the emergency call boxes are equipped with a single “call button,” red in color, located on the face of the box. This button is used whenever communication is required. To use the call box, push and release the button. When answered by the Police Department, hold down the button to talk and release the button to listen.
Assistance from police officers also can be accessed through emergency “ring down” telephones located in building hallways. If you should observe suspicious activity on campus, in the parking lots or on the jogging trail, please notify the campus police via the emergency phones or call boxes. Your identity need not be known if you desire. The purpose for your call is to allow response by officers to safety and security situations to prevent a serious incident from occurring. Your cooperation and assistance will help your campus officers continue to provide a safe environment for students, faculty and staff. A list of the emergency telephone locations is available on this Web site.
