Reporting an emergency

The Department of Campus Safety is the first responding agency on campus. While Campus Safety officers respond to your need, any other needed agencies such as police, fire, medical, hazardous material handlers, etc. will be directed to the location as needed by the Campus Safety dispatcher. Campus Safety officers will clear the way and guide other emergency service providers to your exact location and you will get the service faster if the call goes through Campus Safety first. Note that, if you wish to call 911 anyway, remember to enter a 9 first to get an outside line (9-911) from a campus extension and be ready to provide your exact location and building address to a dispatcher who does not know the campus. What should you do in event of an emergency?

• Use the Emergency Phones (located throughout the campus) to report any danger, fire, medical emergency, crime in progress or suspicious activity.
  
• Most residence halls have exterior campus phones. Use them to call Campus Safety as needed at 7-2000.
  
• Call Campus Safety for an escort (anytime) at 7-2000.

Campus Safety has a close working relationship with the Claremont Police Department and the L.A. County Fire Department and local ambulance providers. They respond quickly and professionally when needed.
