Four emergency call stations exist on campus: one near Hinkhouse Center and the Robertson Hall parking lot, one between the Chapel and Reeves Hall, one south of the Library near the Rubie Burton Academic Center, and one on the north side of campus, near the entrance to the Judy and Glenn Rogers Fine Arts Building.
At each emergency call station, the speaker on the pole acts as a telephone and calls go directly to the 911 dispatcher. These stations are to be used only in the case of an emergency. The dispatcher will respond and ask about the nature of the emergency. The person should stay and report details only if it is safe to do so. After the call is placed, a blue light will flash until it is turned off by campus security personnel. A phone that will access only campus extensions is on the back of the emergency call station that is located between the Chapel and Reeves Hall.
Students and employees may report non-emergency situations by contacting the campus security manager at ext. 2292 or campus security personnel at ext. 2222 from any campus phone or by calling 417-448-1448. When calling 2222, follow the instructions below
- Wait for the call to be processed electronically and to be answered (may take eight rings).
- Identify yourself, your location, and the situation. This is a radio transmission and there will be short pauses.
- Speak slowly and clearly. Wait for acknowledgment from security that they understand you.
- Call again if you have a poor connection or in case of no answer.
Potential criminal activity, suspicious activity, or nonemergency situations on College property should be reported promptly to campus security personnel, located in the Physical Plant, in person or by calling ext. 2292 from any campus phone, dialing
