In the event of an accident, illness, or mental health crisis with a student, faculty, staff, or visitor on campus that results in an emergency, please use the following procedures as a guideline. These guidelines have been recently updated by the Department of Public Safety and may represent a change in practice for some departments.
FIRST: CALL 911. Dial 911 directly if you believe medical assistance is required. Provide the building name and floor to the emergency response dispatch. The exact street address is not needed for campus buildings.
THEN: ALERT DPS. After calling 911 (or at the same time if there is a second person available to assist), alert DPS by calling 612-330-1717 or using the Campus Shield app. DPS staff will coordinate with emergency response personnel, facilitate access to campus buildings, and provide triage support as needed before emergency services arrive.
