News Release
Saving Seconds When Seconds Really Count
The University of Maryland Department of Public Safety (UMDPS) in partnership with Verizon Wireless, Sprint/Nextel, and ATT, is very pleased to announce a new abbreviated dialing capability that enables community members who have mobile phones with service provided by Sprint/Nextel, ATT, or Verizon Wireless, to contact UMDPS directly in an emergency using an abbreviated dialing code. Community members who have mobile phones with service provided by ATT, Verizon Wireless, or Sprint/Nextel may now contact UMDPS directly emergencies on or near the campus by dialing #3333 from their mobile phones*. While dialing 911 from most mobile phones while on the campus will typically route callers to the Prince George’s County Public Safety Communications Center (PGCPSC,) community members who take advantage of the new abbreviated dialing capability will be connected directly to the University of Maryland Department of Public Safety Emergency Communications Center.

Community members in need of emergency assistance may continue to dial 911 from their mobile phones. Callers who have on-campus emergencies and dial 911 from their mobile phones will first be routed to the Prince George’s County Public Safety Communications Center. After the PGCPSC call taker gathers information from the caller and determines that the emergency is on campus, the call will be transferred to the UMDPS Emergency Communications Center. With the new abbreviated dialing capability, however, callers who dial #3333 from their mobile phones with service provided by Verizon Wireless, Sprint/Nextel, or ATT, will be routed directly to the University of Maryland Department of Public Safety Emergency Communications Center*. This new capability will save seconds when seconds really count.
