This is an effort to provide the most appropriate resources as quickly as possible. Duke University Police Department responds with DUEMS to all calls on campus. If DUEMS decides a patient requires transport by ambulance, Durham County EMS will also respond to the call. If Durham County 911 decides that the patient’s condition may be life-threatening, Durham Fire Department may also be dispatched. We work and train with other area agencies to ensure a positive relationship and strong commitment to a continuum of excellent medical care.
