WSU has more than 30 emergency call boxes strategically located on campus and residence
hall grounds that instantly connect to the University Police Department dispatcher
in case of an emergency. The boxes have the capability for two-way communication with
the dispatcher, but communication is not essential. The instant the student presses
the button, the department will automatically dispatch an officer to the location
of the emergency call box, a warning will sound and the blue siren on the top of the
pole will activate.
In addition to the call boxes, the WSU Police Department dispatcher can be reached
from any campus phone by dialing 911. Public campus phones are located in each building
on campus.
