Reporting Emergencies and Incidents on Campus

Emergencies: Dial 7233(SAFE) or activate any campus Blue Phone

In emergencies (police, fire or medical), the Safety Department can be reached by dialing 7233(SAFE) on any campus phone. Tell the dispatcher where you are calling from and be prepared to answer all questions. Dispatch will notify Campus Safety and emergency services as required. The Safety Department responds to all such emergencies. For regular service calls or non-emergencies, dial extension 6480. Calls from outside the University phone system should be preceded with "226". During business hours, you may wish to report incidents or request safety service by going to the Safety Department in Student Center Room 256, or the Parking and Traffic Services Office in the Student Center. Additionally, the Safety Department Communications Center in the Student Center is open 24 hours a day.

The University has a Blue Light emergency telephone system on campus. In an emergency, the Safety Department can be reached by using the call button on a Blue Light phone. While direct hands free contact with a campus dispatcher is established, a strobe light is immediately activated attracting attention to the scene. The location of the call is automatically transmitted to the dispatcher and becomes first priority for all officers.

Embry-Riddle encourages all members of the University community to report crimes, suspicious conditions, or environmental health and safety concerns as soon as possible. The prompt and accurate reporting of such conditions will help the Safety Department to investigate and initiate appropriate actions, including notification and coordination with the Police Department and other community agencies.

Students and employees may report criminal offenses to any uniformed safety officer, the department director, a Student Crime Prevention Practitioner or a member of the Dean of Students office. When calling the safety communications center, an officer will be dispatched to respond to your call. Confidential reports may be submitted to the safety department for inclusion in the crime statistics report. The safety department solicits confidential statistical information from the Dean of Students office.

Safety Officers will assist in facilitating appropriate police service for all individuals on campus. The University encourages all victims of crimes to report incidents to the Safety Department and the Police Department as soon as possible. A Safety Officer will be happy to assist you through this process.
