 Cleveland
State University
has implemented 911 service on the main campus for
any emergency: Police, Fire, Medical,
or Hazmat Spills.
CSU Safety Forces can now be reached by calling 9-1-1 or 8,
9-1-1 from any campus
telephone. Cell phone users can also use
the 911 service – just tell the operator to connect
you to CSU Police. The campus Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP) will coordinate any emergency response on
campus.
The enhanced on-campus service will also allow the campus PSAP operators to
view the location of the on-campus call.
This added feature will allow for a more precise dispatch of essential
services, even in cases where the caller may be medically unable to provide
precise information on his or her location. This enhancement will be added to the campus
telephone system over the next few months.
While the current 2111 number will remain active for a period of time, all
emergency callers are encouraged to use the 911 service. As always, requests for non-emergency
services should be directed to University Police at 687-2020 or e-Mail at police@csuohio.edu.
Over the next few months you will notice a change to the display on your
campus NEC telephone when you receive calls from other campus telephones. The telephone will now display the
extension of the caller and the location of the telephone. The phone location identifier will identify
the building, floor and office or suite where the phone is located (example:
RT-10-1002). This enhancement will support
the Campus 911 System allowing the Safety forces to know the location of the
caller for more precise coordination of emergency response on campus. Should you have any questions concerning
this matter, please feel free to contact IS&T, Telecommunications x3881
or e-Mail telecom@csuohio.edu.
