Campus Police

9-1-1

9-1-1 is used to report emergencies. To help you decide if your call is an emergency, ask yourself, "Are the police, fire or ambulance needed to protect life or property?" If the answer is yes, immediately dial 9-1-1 and tell the telecommunicator what happened. Give the following information:

The location of the emergency. Be specific as possible. Avoid using left or right as a direction. Instead use north or south as well as the specific address such as Rendleman Building, Room 3128; 415-1B Cougar Village Apartments; etc.

Specify the kind of emergency. Be specific, such as crime in progress, fire, injured person, etc.

If there are any weapons involved. This is very important to know for our officers' safety.

Answer all questions that the telecommunicator will ask. This will not delay emergency response.

EMERGENCY TELEPHONES

In a continuing effort to provide a safe campus environment to work, study and play, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville invested in emergency telephones, which will allow for easy communications to the University Police Department.

The telephones are equipped with two buttons that will put you in direct connection with the Police Department. One is for emergency situations and the other is for nonemergencies. The emergency button will automatically dial 9-1-1. This will simultaneously notify the telecommunicator the caller's location. The second button is for nonemergency situations, such as to inform the police of car trouble, to obtain an escort or any other nonemergency need. Each phone is equipped with a strobe light that is automatically activated when the phone is used. The strobe light will stay lit until a police officer deactivates the light.
