Emergency/Assistance Phones for your safety

On the Green Bay Campus we have Emergency/Assistance Phones located in parking lots C, D, E, F, and G. All of the phones have a red light on top of them and are located on a light pole with a camera and a letter signifying what lot you are in.

Here's how the phones work. There are only two buttons on the box. The top button is red and the word EMERGENCY in red is right next to the button. All the caller has to do is press to red button once, they will hear a dial tone and a few seconds later a dispatcher at the Brown County Public Safety Emergency Dispatch Center will answer the phone and ask what the emergency is. On the CAD screen at dispatch it will indicate NWTC, 2740 W. Mason St. and the letter of the parking lot the call is originating from. This will allow for the police officer who is dispatched to the call to know exactly what parking lot to respond to. The caller can continue to speak to the call taker at this time, if they are able to, until the officer arrives.

Each phone has their own phone line, that is how the Public Safety Dispatch Center is able to isolate exactly what parking lot the call is originating from.

On the bottom of the box is a second button that is now marked INFO but will soon be marked ASSISTANCE. When this button is pressed the call is sent to 498-5699 and then is forwarded to the NWTC Security Officer's cell phone. If the caller needs assistance i.e. car won't start, the Security Officer can respond to the location and assist the caller. Again, the caller only has to press the black button once, the caller will hear a dial tone and then hear the Security Officer identify him/herself. The caller can keep talking to the Security Officer and explain their problem.

When the button is pressed the camera located on top of the pole automatically zooms down and records what is occurring. In the near future we will be putting up additional signs to better identify the locations of these phones.

All of our parking lot cameras are operational and recording up to three weeks of historical data. The cameras are in Lot A, C, D, E, F, G, and there is one mounted on the Burn Tower behind Public Safety.
