SafeZone reporting app

SafeZone is a personal security application that gives you 24/7 access to the Campus Safety team. 

When an incident occurs, you can use the app to send a geo-located alert to the response team. If working after hours, you can choose to check in, which will allow the Campus Safety team to offer maximum protection.

Key features

  • Emergency call: if your personal safety or that of others is (or has been) threatened.
  • First aid call: if you or others require medical aid.
  • Help desk: for non-urgent support on campus.
  • Lone working: alert campus safety that you’re working alone outside office hours.
  • If you're outside campus boundaries, the app will offer you a connection to 999 for emergency services.
  • A mobile app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
