More than 175 of these phones are available at outdoor locations, and there are 121 indoor emergency phones throughout campus (including inside every campus elevator). These easy-to-operate phones provide a direct line to the WSUPD's dispatch center and can be used to make free calls to on-campus telephones.

There is no need to dial a phone number, as the phone will immediately connect to the dispatch center.
