In Case of an Emergency

In case of an emergency, simply push the button and, when the dispatcher answers, state the emergency. These phones ring directly into Police and Safety and the dispatcher can, by looking at the phone panel, identify the location of the caller. In addition, an emergency phone is located in each elevator and may be activated by picking up the receiver or pushing the button. When the receiver is picked up or the button pushed, the elevator phones ring directly into Police and Safety.
