If you visit the Mary and John Gray Library, we ask that you adhere to the following policies and guidelines.
In case of emergency, or to report suspicious behavior, dial 8311 or 7777 from any on-campus phone (off campus dial 880-8311 or 880-7777) to contact the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Police. Dialing 911 is less efficient because your call will be redirected to the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Police. If you dial 911 from an on-campus phone, you do not need to dial a '9' for an outside line.
For non-emergency needs, example: lock your keys in your car, need an escort during or after hours, dial 8307.
If you’re in a situation where you cannot call but need LUPD assistance (hostage situation, need to remain quiet, etc.) use the Hearing Impaired Emergency Text Line at (409) 241-8002. Text the name of the building, your room number, and the nature of the emergency if possible.
All extensions will connect you with dispatch, but emergency lines will always receive top priority.
LUPD encourages everyone to download the MyPD app for up-to-date information in the event of an emergency. To download MyPD go to the Android or iPhone store and search for MyPD. After you download the app, open and choose ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University Police.
An emergency phone is located on each of the unstaffed 3rd-5th book floors near the elevators. The emergency phones connect directly to ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Police.
ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ University's Office of Risk Management has formulated Emergency Procedures for various emergencies including fire evacuation, building evacuation, chemical release emergency, severe weather evacuation and handling suspicious letters/packages. Please review all policies in detail for your own safety.
