Duress Alarms

Duress Alarms have been installed for your safety and peace of mind.  

They are for any situation where you feel uncomfortable or threatened; or for any medical emergency.  When activated, the Campus Police will come to the button location within minutes.

Duress Alarms are located throughout the following buildings:

  • Power Center
  • Gumberg Library

To activate the duress alarm, grasp the lever and pull forward.
When the lever is actuated (pulled forward) between 20 and 45 degrees, a silent alarm signal is sent to the Campus Police.
