College and university officials prioritize campus safety to
ensure a secure and enjoyable environment for students, faculty and
visitors. Emergency communications play a vital role in in that
mission by providing an extra layer of protection with reliable,
one-touch access to services such as police, fire and EMS. Those on
campus at Rio Hondo are encouraged to use the new Blue Light Towers
without hesitation in times of danger, personal crisis, medical
emergencies, to report suspicious behavior or activities, or for
accidents.
Knightscope’s modern blue light emergency phones and call boxes
are also the key to curing an overconfident dependence on cell
phones. Many people may not have (or simply may not be carrying) a
cell phone, the cell phone’s battery may be down, or there may be
no signal in the area. Similarly, it is possible that visitors who
find themselves in need of assistance may not be familiar with
campus geography and landmarks, thus being unable to give emergency
responders an exact or accurate location over a cell phone. In
extreme situations (e.g., a campus shooting or disasters such as
hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, wildfire, hazardous
materials spill, etc.) cell phone users may also experience
overloaded networks from too many subscribers trying to access the
system during emergent situations when emergency access is most
needed.
The familiar blue illuminated towers, strategically located
across campus, are a very reassuring sight when emergency services
are needed. They work day and night in all weather and even when
communications are most congested. Blue light emergency phone
systems also always report one’s precise location reliably,
ensuring the expedited arrival of the appropriate type of help.
