Catholic University in Ohio Adds Blue Light Tower to Security Program

An Ohio university purchased its first K1 Blue Light Tower to provide emergency communications to its students and faculty. The university has over 3,500 students in more than 40 undergraduate and 8 graduate degree programs, and Knightscope's K1 Blue Light Towers and Blue Light Emergency Phones provide a very noticeable and recognizable fixed location to access dependable communications away from buildings. The benefits of installing emergency phones include eliminating the need to find a number to call during an emergency; location tracking so that emergency personnel know exactly where to dispatch help; and to supplement spotty cell coverage and dead batteries often contributing to failed communications in time of need. Other recommendations for improving campus safety may be found here.
