About Public Safety

SERVICES PROVIDED

The department is available to help 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You may call for assistance any time of day or night. Requests for assistance are dealt with in order of their urgency. Emergency requests are always handled first.

Emergency Phones

24-hour emergency telephones are strategically placed in 79 locations on the Smith campus. Each emergency phone is a metal box with a luminescent blue light on top and is clearly visible day and night. It is important to note that these phones ensure an immediate response in the event of a dangerous situation but are NOT to be used in non-emergency situations. You may also use them to report incidents or suspicious people, or to ask for an escort. Simply push the red button on any blue light phone. The phone will signal Campus Police automatically and direct someone to you.
