NEW APP DEBUTS FOR CAMPUS SAFETY
The Chapman University Department of Public Safety has introduced the “Rave Panther Guardian” app that can turn a smartphone into a personal safety device.
The Rave Panther Guardian lets students and others communicate quickly with campus public safety or trusted family members and friends.
It allows the user to set a safety timer and request that trusted friends or family members check in at a specific time if the user is headed to an unfamiliar place or walking to the car late at night.
The app can make an emergency call to Public Safety, as well as send texts and photos if the user sees something suspicious.
Users can also create a “Smart911 Safety Profile” with specific information about medical conditions.
The app is free to anyone with a current chapman.edu or mail.chapman.edu email. Profile data are stored securely and cannot be used to track the user’s location unless a 911 call is made or a safety timer expires.
