Code Blue Phone System
Code Blue phones are installed in campus buildings and exterior locations allowing high visibility and quick access for incident reporting and general information. These telephones have highly visible push buttons on an illuminated faceplate. For general campus information push the "Info" or "Call" button and wait for a response. For security purposes a single push on the "Help" or "Emergency" button summons Campus Security, allows the dispatcher to hear what is going on, pinpoints the exact location of the trouble, and triggers the bright blue police-type strobe light on top of the phone. This brightly lights the surrounding area. Once activated, wait for the dispatcher to verbally respond before you begin talking. If you are in physical danger, activate the Code Blue phone system and immediately move to a safe area. Once the phone system is activated the dispatcher will send an officer to the phone's location.
