HOW THE PANICBUTTONS WORK

Panic alarms are silent alarms that alert theUAB Police and Public Safety dispatchcenter in an emergency when a threat to aperson or property exists. Panic buttons areusually hidden behind a counter or desk.Lockdown buttons are located in obviousplaces in classrooms and other areas. Both the panic alarms and lockdown alarmstrigger a silent alarm. When you press thebutton, you will not hear anything, but UABPolice will be instantly notified of a threatsituation at the location of the button. Inaddition, the lockdown alarm will lock allclassroom doors for that room. SeveralUAB buildings have been equipped with thelockdown alarms. If someone calls to inform us of anaccidental activation, an officer is stilldispatched to the scene to ensure everyoneis safe. Please remain calm and follow theinstructions of the officer while the area isbeing assessed for danger. Never test thepanic button due to protocol that isassociated with how the police will respondto this high priority alarm. Don't activatealarms except during an active threat.When police arrive, keep hands visible.
