Does Temple have an emergency system?
In case of any emergency: if the call is made from a campus phone dial 1-1234 immediately. In any other circumstance, for example the usage of a cellular phone or a landline, dial 215-204-1234. This will connect you directly to the communications center. Temple University also has Blue light Emergency phones. There are 90 phones spread out throughout Main, HSC, Tyler and Ambler Campuses. In case of an emergency press the red button, this will activate the system causing bright blue strobe flashes and a call will go directly to the campus police. The campus police computer aided dispatching system is integrated with the Philadelphia Police C.A.O. If you call 911 for a police emergency, the Temple Police dispatcher will also see your call.
