CEP has 32 emergency phones on the St. John’s campus. The phones, located strategically to enhance public safety on campus, are distinctly marked with blue led and do not require dialing. The caller pushes a button for immediate contact with the Communications Control Centre. The Officer also has a visual on the caller with a camera pointed on the phone.

CEP also has hundreds of cameras on campus. Because CEP has been part of the planning process of new construction and/or renovations, all new buildings have cameras on each entrance and in public areas. “Cameras act as a deterrent to those who may think about committing a crime and also assist CEP in solving cases where crimes have been committed,” says CEP Manager John Browne.
