The University of Windsor Special Constable Service currently maintains 270 emergency call boxes across campus, including the downtown campus.
These emergency call boxes are two-way speakerphones that are programmed to dial Special Constable 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.
