Always active – Maryville University has emergency blue light phones on campus. These phones will automatically dial public safety when you push the red emergency button. Another feature with the phones is the ability to communicate your location when the call is answered even if the caller is unable to speak. For a location of our emergency blue light phones on campus, please refer to the Blue Light Phone Map.

Safety While in The City
This presentation will focus on safety issues that may be helpful when you are off campus and traveling to downtown Saint Louis. This program will help educate you on community safety while enjoying all the great activities the Saint Louis area has to offer.
Whistle Program
This program provides a high-quality brass whistle free of charge to students and employees. Those participating in the program are asked to carry their whistles with them at all times and to blow the whistle if they feel threatened or get attacked by another person. Others who hear the whistle are instructed to go to the nearest emergency phone and call Public Safety immediately. Persons blowing the whistle under any other conditions than those specified above will be referred to the Office of Student Life for disciplinary proceedings.
These are just a few of the programs the Department of Public Safety offers to the Maryville community. Other programs can be developed per your request i.e. drug recognition, workplace violence, safety at home, etc. Please contact the Director of Public Safety at extension 9564 to schedule a class or if you need more information about any of these programs.
