Emergency Call Boxes

The Department of Campus Safety is continuing its commitment to the safety and security of the NYU community through its emergency call box system.

The 22 boxes provide a link to safety along well-traveled routes to, from, and within the New York campuses.

Box Features:

• One button triggers an immediate response from the 24/7/365 Campus Safety command center
• A strobe light flashes when emergency button is pushed
• A blue light at the top of the box illuminates the surrounding area
• Two-way communication allows our campus safety officer to speak directly with you
• Hard-wiring to the university communications system ensures a safe link to our command center
• NYU-distinct branding highlights the boxes against the New York City streetscape

You should push the emergency button if:

• You're feeling unsafe on campus.
• You feel your safety is being threatened.
• You feel as if you're being followed.
• You're experiencing an emergency.
• Your phone has died and you have an emergency.

• The emergency call box strobe light will flash, further illuminating the area.
