Lubbock PD instala un teléfono de emergencia con luz azul en la sede - KFYO

The setup works exactly like the emergency call boxes scattered across Texas Tech's campus. Press the big red button and you're connected to a police emergency center. No app, no signal, no fumbling through contacts required.

Placing one at LPD headquarters specifically is meant to free up officers for patrol elsewhere in the city. If someone near the station needs help, they no longer have to wait for an officer on-site. The phone handles that immediate connection instead.

For folks near 15th Street without a working phone, or in a situation where pulling one out isn't safe, this gives them a fast, reliable way to reach help. It's a low-tech solution to a real gap in coverage, and the location makes sense given the foot traffic around downtown.

The city now has at least one of its own.
