A network of emergency telephones, marked at night by a distinctive blue light, has made the Texas A&M University-Kingsville campus a safer place. By pressing the red button, anyone can immediately summon police, fire, or medical help.
The primary function of the phones is to provide emergency communication from the campus grounds. They also provide you with the convenience of making local non-emergency calls.
