A public security plan includes an emergency call system. An emergency box should always be functioning. The Blue Light Emergency Phone Tower features a remote monitoring feature that sends an alert to the dispatcher whenever it requires maintenance. These emergency call boxes are widely used at public squares, police stations, and university and college campuses. They are also available at highways and waysides as well as outside buildings. The International Telecommunication Union recommends that this mode of operation be used.
High visibility
You may consider installing a high-visibility emergency call box if safety is a concern on campus. These devices have a bright blue light which is easily visible to passersby. They conform to the Americans with Disabilities Act. They also have flashing strobe light that alerts emergency personnel to your location.
Blue-light emergency phones work well in high-risk areas like campuses, parking lots and medical centers. They are also easy to install without digging into the ground. They are also completely free so that your campus visitors do not have to worry about emergency calls being charged.
Connection to campus dispatcher
The campus police dispatcher can connect you to help you in times of crisis on campus or to provide information about where to report suspicious activities. Campus police respond to both emergency and non-emergency calls. They also investigate suspicious activity and take the appropriate action if necessary. The campus police are available seven days a semaine, 24 hours a year.
Police Dispatchers are civilian support positions in the University Police Department. They report to the Associate Director for Police Support Services and are responsible for performing a range of technical and specialized support tasks. They are located in the emergency communications center of the University Police Department.
Cost
As technology improves, the cost of emergency box blue lights goes up. For example, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln recently removed all but two of its emergency blue light call box boxes. They had spent more than $1.7 million installing and maintaining them. There is still controversy about whether or not the blue light boxes offer campus safety the best solution.
The University of Florida recently found that the blue lights were activated 508 times. Of these, only 14 times was there a need for police action, and of these, only one was an emergency. Similar to the University of Central Florida, which has 260 emergency phone boxes on campus, only six percent of students required police assistance. The majority of these were vehicle-related. While universities in South Florida (and West Florida) have approximately fifty emergency contact boxes, they show low usage. One college had to get rid of all emergency telephones due to lack in use.
