The Emergency Blue Phones are a camera system on the UBC Vancouver Point Grey campus, consisting of blue pedestals with a button-activated emergency phone, which connects directly to the Campus Security phone number.

The cameras are normally user-activated. That is, they only activate when the button is pressed. During emergencies, however, Campus Security can activate them temporarily for safety and security purposes.

In 2015, in accordance with recommendations received from a Campus Safety Working Group, the number of Emergency Blue Phone pedestals was expanded to approximately 35 units, and all of the units were equipped with cameras in 2016.

To use the Blue Phones, push the button once and you will be connected to a Campus Security dispatcher. If there’s an emergency, dial 9-1-1 immediately.
