Effective September 12, 2024, WesternU has partnered with the SafeZone mobile app to provide our community with a powerful tool that will help keep our campuses safe. The free SafeZone app is available for both iOS (Apple) and Android (Google) devices. SafeZone delivers two-way, real-time interactions with our security team that includes location-tagged text, calls, photos as well as mass notifications. With the app, you can connect immediately with campus security either by a simple message, a photo tip, or a direct phone call. You can also access local resources.

About SafeZone<\/h2>\n

SafeZone was founded in 2011 and is now used across the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia at various higher education institutions.<\/p>\n

It allows the campus community to report anything unusual and campus security will see it in Dispatch. Conversely, messages can be sent to either all SafeZone users or those within a geo-fence (think chemical spill).<\/p>\n

For more information on SafeZone such as videos and FAQs, visit their web site<\/a>. You may also e-mail customer service<\/a>.<\/p>\n
