All telephones are outfitted with an Alert button. The button functions like a silent alarm. Pressing the button discretely notifies Public Safety an urgent security response is needed.

Examples of circumstances when pressing the Alert button may be appropriate include the following:

• you are busy providing urgent assistance (i.e. First Aid, CPR etc.)

• you feel calling security will only escalate a situation

• you are alone and experience a medical emergency

Note that the Alert Button does not replace the 4000 Emergency Line.
