The University
of Illinois
has an extensive network of Emergency Phones located in all
campus buildings, parking garages and in numerous bus shelters.
They are also located on streets and walkways across campus in
the familiar lighted emergency kiosks.
The phones are connected directly to the University Police
Department and are monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week
including all holidays.
The phones can be used to request help, report a crime in
progress, report suspicious activities, request an escort or for
any other type of emergency you may encounter.
If you need
help, press the button on the emergency phone, the call will be
answered by one of our on duty telecommunicators, they will ask
you to explain your situation and will send the appropriate help
to your location.
