    Web site

Public Safety personnel provide patrol coverage for the Wye Mills Campus and answer calls for service while the campus is open for business. A security escort service to and from parking lots is available upon request.

Each building on campus has an emergency phone on each floor (first floor only in the Dorchester Building). There is also an emergency phone outside of the Public Safety Office. Look for the blue signs in hallways to locate an emergency phone.

Emergency phones are simple to use—pick up the handset, the phone automatically dials Public Safety. If Public Safety is unable to answer the phone within 4 rings, it will automatically go to 911. (You are not able to dial out on these phones.)
