Emergency Options
- Currently, unless calling from a land line campus telephone, 911 dispatchers may not reliably know the location of a caller using a mobile phone.
- When users contact Public Safety using the “Campus Safety” feature, the officers will know the caller’s exact location, their contact information, as well as their emergency contacts.
- In cases where the caller is in a situation where they can’t speak or don’t want to be heard, Public Safety can real-time monitor the location starting when call is placed, even if you are moving. This ensures Public Safety will still be able to locate the person quickly and respond appropriately.
