Outdoor “blue light” emergency call boxes are strategically located throughout the campus and connect directly to the University Police Department. This security measure is provided to ensure safety.

Simply pushing the large black button that connects to the campus police dispatcher can activate call boxes. The dispatcher will then identify the activated call box by number and ask for the nature of the emergency (i.e., “Call box number 3, what is your emergency?”).

Persons should try to remain calm and speak loudly and clearly while giving the location and nature of the emergency. To increase residential hall safety, wall mounted call boxes are being installed at the front entrance of each residential hall.

All calls, complaints, and serious incidents will be investigated by the University Police Department. Violations of the law can result in charges by the Norfolk State University Police Department, local police, and referral to the Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs or the Faculty Senate.
