The <\/a>University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security<\/a> offers various<\/a> safety resources to help students, staff and faculty navigate campus, including the Emergency Blue Light Phone system<\/a> and partnerships with rideshare<\/a> services.\u00a0<\/p>\n Recognizable by their tall black poles with blue lights on top, Emergency Blue Light phones connect users directly to DPSS Dispatch Services, transmitting the caller\u2019s location automatically. No dialing is required, and an officer is immediately sent to the location where the button was pressed. In an email to The Michigan Daily, Shannon Hill, chief Freedom of Information<\/a> officer at the University, wrote there are 330 Emergency Blue Light Phones located across campus, including on-campus parking structures and elevators.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201c(The FOIA) office was advised that there are 330 operational Blue Light emergency phones on the Ann Arbor campus,\u201d Hill wrote. \u201cThere is no responsive data pertaining to activations of Blue Light phones because the University does not track this information.\u201d<\/p>\n In an interview with The Daily, U-M alum Juan Naasko said he finds comfort in knowing the phones are all around campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
