Changes to Alarm System

Please be aware that the controls for the alarm system are now secured with a locked cover.  A key to the locked cover is maintained in the Dean's Suite and by University Police.  The Law Library staff do not maintain a copy of the key.  Accordingly, even if library personnel are at the desk, if an alarm is triggered between 5pm and 7:30am, the alarm will not be turned off until University Police personnel are contacted and arrive at the Law School.  Because of this security change, students are advised to take additional care to not trigger an alarm through use of an emergency exit door after hours.  If you trigger the alarms after hours, on weekends, or during a holiday, you will need to contact University Police.  The University Police number for non-emergencies is 605-677-5342.  In the case of an emergency, dial 9-911 from any campus phone. 

Because the alarm system is not automatically disarmed after a set period of time, failure to contact University Police will result in the alarm continuing to sound.  Please be courteous to your colleagues by taking extra care not to set off the alarms and by contacting the appropriate organization should you mistakenly trigger an alarm.
