Yellow Call Box Phones

In an effort to maintain a safer campus, Linfield University maintains Yellow Box courtesy phones. These phones are located on the residence halls across the campus. The phones connect directly to LPS by pressing the “call” button. Please use these phones to report suspicious circumstances, request courtesy rides/escorts, jump starts or simply to contact LPS directly.

Courtesy rides

LPS provides 24/7 courtesy rides or walking escorts for campus community members if you have safety concerns. If you are injured, report to Learning Support Services and they will generate an email to LPS if courtesy rides are needed. Contact LPS either at 503-883-SAFE (7233) or via a Blue Light phone or a Yellow call box located outside most residence halls. Note that for courtesy rides, an officer may not be able to respond quickly if on another call.

Identification cards

Linfield University identification cards are available at Cozine Hall in the LPS office. Your first Linfield ID card is provided free of charge. The replacement cost for a card is $25 and will be billed to your student account. LPS office business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  

For the safety of the community, please report lost or stolen cards to LPS immediately at 503-883-SAFE (7233).

Lost and found

LPS maintains lost and found items that are valuable, including ID cards and keys. If you lose or misplace a valuable item, file a report in the LPS office. If your item is turned in to our department, we will contact you. Unclaimed found items with an estimated current value less than $100 will be held for 90 days; items with an estimated current value of more than $100 will be held for the duration of the academic year.

Key services

For the occasional accidental lock-outs, first try contacting your roommate and next your RA. If unable to contact either of them, call residence life at 503-883-5389 between 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. If all of them are unavailable, or before/after hours of residence life, contact LPS.

Vehicle assistance

When a vehicle is unable to start due to a dead battery while on Linfield campus, LPS has the ability to provide a complimentary jump-start for students, staff and faculty. If the headlights are left on, if the vehicle needs to be moved or an incident occurs involving a vehicle, LPS will contact the vehicle owner. Parking permits are the best way for LPS to contact vehicle owners. If LPS is unable to assist you, we recommend contacting AAA if applicable or a tow company.
