  7. Feel Safe @ ISU cont. FEEL SAFE @ ISU • Park your vehicle in University lots • Keep all articles out of sight in your vehicle • LOCK your vehicle • Walk with others, especially at dark • If you plan to party, be responsible • When you enter an unfamiliar building, note where the exits are • When a building fire alarm sounds, walk quickly to the nearest exit • Never try to distinguish a fire, GET OUT!

  8. If you need the Police • Visit the Public Safety Building. Someone is there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week • Telephone • Blue Light Phones

  9. Reporting an Emergency by Telephone • From a campus phone dial 911 or 5555. You will get ISU Public Safety • To get ISU Public Safety directly from a cell or a non campus phone , you must dial 812-237-5555 • If you dial 911 from your cell, you will get Vigo County Central Dispatch, NOT ISU POLICE!

  14. Voice Over Internet Protocol Telephones • Newest component of the Emergency Notification System, installed in the Fall of ‘09 • Enables Public Safety to broadcast emergency messages to the classrooms on campus • These telephones can also be used to dial 911 in the event of an emergency in the classroom

  15. The Clery Act • Originally known as the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act. • Named after Jeanne Clery, a 19 year old Lehigh University (PA) freshman who was raped and murdered in her residence hall in 1986 • Requires all colleges and universities to disclose information about crime on or near their campuses • Failure to do this could result in the institution being suspended from participating in financial aid programs
