Reporting an Emergency or Crime

Dial 911 from any phone on campus
Push the Emergency Button on of any blue-light phone throughout campus
Dial 330-672-2212 for the University's Communications Center

Emergency 911 is accessible from any phone on campus including your cell phone. 911 calls are answered by dispatchers in our communications center who can send police, fire or ambulance services to your location within minutes. While most people use their cell phones to dial 911, there are also over 40 "blue light phones" located around campus in parking lots and along sidewalks that you can use in the event of an emergency. In addition to calling 911, the blue light phones also contain a list of useful numbers to include: Parking Services, University Housing, Stadium Shuttle, and PARTA/Campus Bus Service. They can also be used to dial any number on campus.

5X�� Police Services maintains a daily crime and fire log summarizing crimes and residence hall fires reported for the last 60 days. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to take an active role in becoming educated about crime prevention and safety.

Safety Information & Programming

The university offers a variety of crime prevention and awareness programs and materials, including:

A.L.I.C.E (Alert, Lockdown, Information, Counter and Evacuation) regarding active threat response. To enroll in A.L.I.C.E. training go to A.L.I.C.E WORKSHOPS
Community Oriented Police Services (COPS) program, which was created to build positive relationships between police officers and the communities they serve. To foster this connection, Kent State police officers are assigned specific areas on campus for regular patrol and special events. This enables faculty, staff and students the chance to communicate directly to law enforcement any issues concerning potential criminal activity within academic buildings and residence halls.
