The University of Alabama maintains more than 200 emergency “Blue Phones” spread across campus in outdoor areas, parking lots and decks. These emergency phones are painted bright blue and have the word “emergency” on them. A UAPD dispatcher can be reached directly by pushing the call button on the emergency phone.

Our Blue Phone technology is being upgraded. Many now have cameras that allow UAPD dispatchers to see the caller, as well as what is happening in the area around the phone. They also hava a QR code which allows callers to identify their location on the campus map.

Blue Phones, combined with other resources such as enhanced lighting around campus and security cameras, help deter criminal activity and enhance safety on the UA campus.

Visit the UA Campus Map or use the UA Safety app to find the location of Blue Phones on campus.
