Reporting Emergencies On Campus
For assistance in a medical or safety emergency, dial 911 from a University phone or pre-program 301-405-3333 into a cellular phone.
When the University of Maryland Police dispatcher answers:
- Identify yourself and the specific location of the emergency. Say what occurred. Be concise and factual.
- Describe any known or suspected injuries
- Identify help that is needed immediately
- Stay on the phone until the dispatcher tells you it’s okay to hang up
- Stay in your same location, if safe to do so, and identify yourself to responding authorities
When you finish talking with Police:
- Dial the phone number for your 24-hour Service Desk or 301-314-WORK (9675)
- Identify yourself and relate the same information you just gave to Police
- Ask to have a Resident Life duty staff member contacted immediately
