Easy Emergency Communication

Spartan Safe provides a Friend Walk feature allowing users to send their location to a friend so they can track the user in real time as the user walks to their destination. The GPS functionality of the user's phone can trigger a call to emergency services if necessary.

Anonymous Tip Reporting and Chat

Submit an in-app tip report by phone call or anonymous form. Tips can then be routed to appropriate departments to make sure the issue gets the attention it needs. Users can also utilize the safety toolbox to chat with campus security, share your location, flashlight features and more.

Emergency Plans

From active aggressors and evacuations, to severe weather and suspicious packages, view campus emergency plans for all types of scenarios.

Emergency Push Notifications

Spartan Safe offers a seamless notification process in the event of an emergency. In extreme circumstances, phone lines may prevent some messages from going through quickly. Spartan Safe's push notifications allow users to get messages instantaneously, even if they don't have cellular service, such as in the basement of a building. (Wi-Fi access would be necessary.) Plus, individuals can share their location with the app to receive geo-targeted alerts.
