Each phone
has an emergency button that, when pressed, automatically
dials the VUPD Communications Center. An open line
on any emergency phone will activate a priority response
from an officer. An officer will be sent to check
on the user of the phone, even if nothing is communicated
to the dispatcher. Cooperation is essential to help
us maintain the integrity of the emergency phone
system. These phones should be used only for actual
or perceived emergency situations.
All emergency phones are checked for functionality
on a routine basis. However, in the unlikely event
there is an emergency phone malfunction, please contact
our communications center at 322-2745 to report the
need for repair.
An emergency response can also be activated by dialing 911 from any campus
phone. Cell phone users can dial (615) 421-1911 to summon an emergency
response on campus. Cell phone users should dial 911 for off-campus emergencies.
Callers should be prepared to state the location from which they are
calling.
