HELP PHONE SYSTEM MAP





There are over 200 Help Telephones conveniently located throughout the UAB Campus. You may click the button below to see a campus map with most of the Help Phone locations (be patient, it is a large file). These phones are in building hallways, elevators, parking lots, parking decks, between buildings and in various remote areas. They are a direct link to your UAB Police Department and are monitored 24 hours a day.

There are generally two types of Help Phones. To operate a Help Telephone that is located in a metal box, just open the door and pick up on the handset. To operate the small yellow Help Phone boxes with the red button, just push the button once and wait for the dispatcher to answer. To operate the Help phones located in elevators, just open the phone panel and lift the handset up and wait for the dispatcher to answer.

When using a Help Telephone, please wait for someone to answer. This usually takes just seconds, but in rare cases may take up to a half a minute for the dispatcher to get to the line. We respond Police Officers to unanswered activated phones, so if you need assistance, or just change your mind, please wait for the dispatcher to confirm that you are ok.
