The EKU Police Department maintains and monitors 21 call boxes placed in various locations on campus. Call boxes are easily located by the blue light on top of a pole. The call boxes can be used for emergency situations, directions and information, or requesting the evening shuttle or an escort.

After the button is pushed, the blue light will start flashing and an automated message will play advising that your call for assistance has been sent. Shortly thereafter, the Dispatcher will confirm the receipt of the activation by saying, "Campus Police, please push the button to talk, release to listen." Push and hold the button to transmit your message and release the button to hear the Dispatcher's reply.

If there is no reply to the Dispatcher after the call box has been activated, an officer will be sent to check the area for a reason for the activation. The Dispatcher also has the capablitiy to make the call box transmit so he/she can hear what is happening in the immediate area.
