Call Boxes and Courtesy Phones
The UC San Diego Police Department provides call boxes in many campus parking lots and structures for a direct line to request police assistance or a safety escort. Outdoor call boxes are blue towers with a blue strobe light.
Multiple broadcast towers, labeled “EMERGENCY,” are located at main pedestrian thoroughfares. These towers double as call boxes. To use, lift the handset and/or press the button and you’ll be connected with police dispatch in 2-3 seconds.
You can also contact the Police Department on courtesy phones located in or near buildings.
