Public Safety
The on-campus emergency number, x86911, directly connects any campus phone with the University's police department and should be used only when fire, police, or medical response is required. Thirty-two outdoor emergency telephones are located across campus and at the main entrance of all 25 residence halls. These telephones, housed in yellow call boxes, provide one-button speed dialing for instant communication with the University police.
For information or non-emergencies, you should dial X86913. You should direct all calls concerning parking to X83300.
Your personal safety and the security of the campus community are of vital concern to James Madison University. Information regarding crime prevention advice, the law enforcement authority of the university police, policies concerning the reporting of any crimes which may occur on the campus, and crime statistics for the most recent 3-year period is in a publication called, Your Right to Know, and may be requested from the Office of Public Safety.
