University of Arkansas Campus Safety

Unknown

There are 122 emergency phones located in elevators and buildings and 131 including parking garages on the University of Arkansas campus . The average response time for cops if an emergency button is hit could be delayed with construction all around campus, blocking the usual detours for officials. The U of A recently enacted an enhanced 9-1-1 service, “Smart911”, that allows students and faculty to create a confidential profile online that can be used in emergency situations. If someone with the “Smart911” service calls 9-1-1 from their phone, their information is immediately available to dispatchers to ensure safety.
