Emergencies: Who do I Contact?

In the event of an emergency you should always contact Campus Police.

For police or medical emergencies:

• Call extension 6222 from any College telephone extension
• Dial (781) 477-2100 from your cell or any phone
• Lift the hand set of any red "hot phone" located in public areas around the Campuses.

To assist you in finding our emergency numbers we have posted the emergency extension 6222 on most College telephones in the form of a red sticker and in all classroom and most public areas we have posted emergency stickers with our (781) 477-2100 listed on them.

When calling provide your name & extension, the campus & building, the exact location, the nature of the emergency; Answer any questions & stay on the phone.

To Report a Fire, Smoke, or Burning Odor
FIRE ALARM PULL BOXES are located around the facilities and are present at all building exits; Pull handle and exit building.

REPORTING A FIRE BY PHONE to the Campus Police Emergency Number: Call extension 6222; Provide your name, the campus & building, the exact location, the nature of the fire & if anyone is injured; Answer any questions & exit the building.

Why can't I just dial 911??

Here are a few reason why your best bet is to contact the Campus Police:

• The Campus Police are emergency providers - Our Officers are academy trained police officers, certified medical first responders or EMT's and are CPR/AED (Semi-Auto Defibrillator) trained.



• We will get there faster - Officers are on campus and familiar with the environment.



• The local police, fire, ambulance personnel will be here faster - Your Campus Police department has forged relationships with our municipal partners, we know each other and regularly work as a team during emergency situations. We also have a relationship with you. We know you, where you are and what you'll need. We bring the necessary resources directly to you reducing the possibility of delays resulting from responders unfamiliar with our Campuses.



• We share radio communications - We have the ability, real time, to collaborate with our responding municipal partners.



• 911 calls & routing of College telephone extensions - Due to the technical nature of our telephone system your 911 call may not be directed to the city or town your emergency is occuring.
