Enhanced 911 Services
This service enables the campus PBX (Private Branch Exchange) telephone switch to interact with a public 911 database maintained by the Institute. When a 911 call is placed from any campus telephone the ten-digit number is sent with the call to the Terre Haute Police Department and compared to the location database. This service allows the Terre Haute Police Department to pinpoint your location for the responding agency. Simultaneously, the Rose-Hulman Office of Public Safety is notified with the callers location.
Rose-Hulman provides enhanced 911 services to all Institute telephones.
Please do not hang up on the 911 operator if you have dialed by mistake, simply explain there is no emergency to the operator, this will save the Terre Haute Police Department Operators from having to call you back or dispatch an officer.
