About Public Safety

SERVICES PROVIDED

The Department of Public Safety 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.

Public Safety Emergency Phones

Public Safety provides 24-hour emergency telephones for the Smith College community. Emergency telephones are strategically placed in 38 locations on campus, including near the residential houses and parking lots as well as Lamont Bridge, Smith College Equestrian Center, Athletic Facilities parking lots and all levels of the Parking Garage. 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. Non-emergency uses will make it impossible for Public Safety to respond quickly to true life-threatening emergencies.

Location of Emergency Blue Phones

Non-emergency Services: Dial Extension 2490

Department of Public Safety officers will attempt to respond to non-emergency requests provided that they are not engaged in matters of a higher priority.
