Campus Community Police maintains 270 emergency call boxes across the UWindsor campus, including downtown — two-way speakerphones programmed to dial the service directly when the button is pushed any time of the day or night, 365 days a year.
There are a few variations of the emergency call boxes you will see around campus.
Emergency Blue Light Pole
There are 27 outdoor emergency blue light poles located on campus.
Pressing the red emergency button will put you in direct contact with the telecommunicator until police arrive. The flashing blue lights serve as a beacon to responding officers and others in the vicinity.
Stainless Steel Emergency Call Box
This emergency box functions very similarly to the emergency blue light pole.
Pressing the red emergency button will notify Campus Police and keep you in direct verbal contact with the telecommunicator until police arrive.
Yellow Emergency Call Box
Just as with the Stainless Steel Emergency Call Box, pressing the red emergency button will notify Campus Police and keep you in direct verbal contact with the telecommunicator until police arrive.
Blue Emergency Button
Pressing the red button will notify Campus Police to respond to the location of the button.
