If you feel you are in a hazardous situation and cannot stay on the line long, tell the dispatcher this at the beginning of your call. The T.O. can then request the minimum information needed to get you help, and you can get to a safe place. At minimum, the dispatcher needs to know where you are and what happened so the appropriate help can be sent quickly. As difficult as it can be in an emergency, try to remain calm. It can be difficult to understand what a caller is saying for a variety of reasons, including language barriers and bad phone connections.
Strong emotions make effective communication even harder.
If you accidentally happen to bump a Blue Light phone or hit the wrong button on the Ram Tech phones at the dorm entrances, please stay on the line to let the dispatcher know there's no problem. Accidents happen, and there is no penalty for accidentally activating one of these phones. But if you don't stay on the line, an officer will be sent to check the area. This ties up an emergency unit, and might delay getting help to someone who really needs it. Though your situation is important to you, the T.O. may have to handle other incoming calls.
