Civilian Complaint Log

911 on Campus Phones

You can dial 911 on any college phone and be automatically connected to the Office of Campus and Community Safety Services. Users can still dial the office’s emergency telephone line at 718.951.5444 and 718.951.5445 to report an emergency. In addition, extensions 5444 and 5445 can be dialed from within the college’s telephone system to report an emergency.

You can still reach the New York City 911 services, by dialing 9, then 911. However, we highly recommend that you call us directly instead, as we will immediately call 911 and can more easily coordinate and direct any response. If you dial 911 on your own, it will be very hard for any first responders to find you on our large campus.

Pressing 9 to obtain an outside line no longer gives you a new dial tone. That is a result of the changes needed to make the campus 911 possible. After pressing 9 to obtain an outside line, you will now hear only silence, after which you should enter the outside phone number prefaced by 1, as you did in the past, followed by the area code and telephone number.

Contact the Telecommunications Office at 718.951.5533 if you have any questions about this service.

Brooklyn. All in.
