Emergency Call Box Operation

call box map

For your safety there are 12 Emergency call box locations around campus.

All call box activations are investigated regardless of a response.

University Police will respond, even if you don't speak.

1. When emergency assistance is needed, press the "Push For Help" button until the switch is activated and the green light comes on, then release. The blue light above the call box will come on.

2. Once the red panel call received light is illuminated, push and hold the call button talking in a normal voice. State your emergency. After you are through speaking, release the button to listen.

3. Follow the dispatcher's intructions.

While on the line, assistance will be dispatched to your location.

Do not leave the area unless your physical safety is in danger.

If you are being followed, chased, or threatened, activate a call box and keep moving to the nearest occupied building, activating other call boxes as you pass.

The call boxes are for EMERGENCY USE ONLY! They should be used during situations such as crimes in progress, fires, medical emergencies, or threats to personal safety.
