CODE BLUE EMERGENCY CALL BOXES
There are Code Blue Emergency Call Boxes positioned throughout the campus for your safety. The
emergency call boxes (phones) are in place to assist the Coppin community in times of emergency. There
are two buttons, on the phones: the black button labeled “info” sends an audible and visual
communication to the campus Police Department. The red button labeled “need help” activates the
emergency blue light and also allows for audible and visual communication to campus police who
monitors these call boxes. Please use them if you find yourself in an emergency. You can also go to the
