EMERGENCY PHONES

The El Camino College has a network of Police telephones located throughout the campus. The Police phones are located along the campus walkways, parking lots and in many of the buildings on campus. The telephones may be accessed in an emergency or if you need the services of the police department. Some phones are now equipped with information buttons that will dial the police department regular business number.

To contact the police department, push the red button on the face of the telephone or pick up the red receiver on the telephone. The phone rings directly into the police dispatch center. Calls made from the Blue Phones are identified by location in the Police Department Communications Center.

If you are a disabled student and have a visual or hearing impairment, it is important to know that an officer will be dispatched to the location of the telephone where a call originated, even if the person making the call cannot communicate with us.

There are emergency telephones located inside some of the campus buildings and in all of the elevators. You may also make a "911" call from any of the pay telephones on campus. 911 calls made on campus will ring into the El Camino Police Department Communications Center.

If you make a 911 call from your cellular phone while on campus, please advise the 911 operator to connect you to the El Camino College Police Department. All 911 calls placed from cellular phones ring into the California Highway Patrol dispatch center and must be re-directed to the appropriate police agency in the area of the incident.
