Emergency Phones
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.
As part of your safety preparedness you should be aware of the locations of the nearest emergency phones as you move around campus.
The locations of the exterior emergency phones are shown on this map.
If you have any questions about the use or location of an emergency phone call the University of Illinois Police at 217-333-1216.
