Over a period of a couple years there were several assaults on the campus of the University of Chicago so the University installed an emergency phone system. There are about 150 white phones on campus and around the Hyde Park (Hyde Park is the name of the neighborhood) that connect directly to the University Police. The phones are simple to operate only the red button needs to be pushed and the police dispatcher can tell the exact location where the call is initiated.

Great system and good for the theme. Kind of sad, though, that our society has come to this.
ReplyDeleteGot the theme "On the Button" and yes Uni should be fun not a threat.
ReplyDeleteI would think just having these available would deter criminal activities. You found a good image for this theme.
ReplyDeleteA very good button to have around!!
ReplyDeleteI hope it helps you feel safer at work. It looks like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteA very good button to have! :)
ReplyDeleteNice catch for the "button" theme. I hope it has the dual effect of making students feel safer while detering the would-be assailants.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that we need these on our campuses, but glad we have them around if the need arises.
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a good "button" to have..agree with others that we shouldn't have to have them.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, sad it has to be installed though. You do wonder what the world has come to sometimes.
