Emergency telephone call boxes and blue phones are installed at key locations on campus for student safety. They may be found in parking lots including the Dental Hygiene and Echlin Hall lots, adjacent to the residence halls, at the North Campus, and elsewhere on campus. Students should familiarize themselves with their locations in the event that they need to use an emergency telephone.
In case of emergency, the emergency telephone may be activated by pressing the button on the front. A connection will be made to the University of New Haven Police Department. Once the phone is activated, there is a two-way connection which remains active, allowing the individual to speak with the dispatcher or monitor activity around the telephone to be monitored by the University of New Haven Police Department. In addition, when activated, a blue strobe light will continually flash to further identify the location of the emergency and an officer will respond to the location of the emergency telephone.
False activation of an emergency telephone has serious implications for student safety. Anyone involved in tampering with or falsely activating an emergency telephone will be subject to disciplinary action, a fine, possible expulsion from the University, and full prosecution under the laws of the State of Connecticut. Should a student witness a false activation of an emergency telephone, they should contact the University of New Haven Police immediately.
Immediate first aid is available to members of the University community and their guests by contacting the University Police Department or by calling 911.
If you find items of value in the buildings or on the grounds, please turn them in immediately to the University of New Haven Police Department. Students are urged to put their names on personal property, including textbooks. Serial numbers of items of value should also be recorded.
Employees or students who obtain protective or restraining orders against another individual listing campus locations as protected areas, must provide a copy of the order to the University of New Haven Police Department and Human Resources.
In keeping with state and federal laws concerning campus safety and security, the University maintains information related to campus crime statistics and security measures and these are provided annually to all current students and employees. The data is also available upon request to all prospective students and their families. This information is available on the University of New Haven website, and a hard copy may be obtained free of charge at the University of New Haven Police Department.
