Communication

 

To enable Wesleyan community members to report criminal actions or emergencies as quickly as possible, the campus is dotted with emergency police and fire radio boxes, which, when activated, summon assistance.

To activate a police/fire emergency alarm box:

  1. Lift the white protective cover.

  2. Depress the button for police and/or fire department, depending on the emergency.

  3. You will hear no sound but the red light will be activated.  Try to stay close to the box so that the responders can assist you as they arrive.

To activate a blue-light phone to call Public Safety in an emergency:

  1. Push red button -- the phone will dial Public Safety.

  2. A red light will indicate the phone is activated.

Residence-hall telephones, pay telephones, elevator telephones, and University extensions, including exterior blue-light phones, or direct lines to Public Safety also are available.  The campus has many University telephones located in common areas inside buildings or outside.  Emergency telephone numbers, which are displayed on Public Safety patrol vehicles and on decals available from the Office of Public Safety, are: 

Public Safety Emergencies 685-3333; Middletown Police Department, Fire Department, or medical emergencies 9-911.  

In addition, Public Safety provides emergency telephone number posters to residence staff for display in living units and to academic and administrative departments for their offices.  Public Safety emergency and/or non-emergency numbers appear in the following publications: Faculty/Staff Directory, Student Directory, Handbook for Wesleyan Parents, Student Handbook [www.wesleyan.edu/studenthandbook], and publications distributed by the Wesleyan Student Assembly.
