Personal safety for campus life

College students experience new freedoms and responsibilities as they navigate campus life, evening events, off-campus activities, and social gatherings. While these years are exciting, they can also bring uncertainty and risks, especially when students walk alone at night, travel unfamiliar routes, or encounter emergencies.

Safety Button extends best-in-class security beyond the home, giving students and their families on-demand access to professional help, anytime and anywhere. 

How Safety Button supports college students 

When walking alone, especially at night or in unfamiliar areas, Safety Button offers discreet protection. With your phone in hand, simply hold the button if you feel uneasy. If a threat emerges, releasing the button immediately alerts trained operators, who can dispatch emergency help to your location. Even if you can’t speak or your phone is damaged, trained agents may send trained responders to your last known location, ensuring you’re never truly alone. 

• Late-night walks: After a late study session at the library, a student walks through a dimly lit path across campus. If they feel they’re being followed or it’s unsafe, holding and releasing the Safety Button discreetly initiates an emergency response, with real-time location being shared with trained professionals.

• Rideshare and public transit: When using rideshare services or city buses, especially alone or at night, students can activate Safety Button if the situation feels uncomfortable, ensuring help is ready to respond, and emergency contacts can be notified if an incident is verified. 

• Off-campus social events: At a crowded party or unfamiliar location, if a student senses potential danger or is separated from friends, they can discreetly use Safety Button for immediate assistance, trained agents provide responders with the contextual notes and emergency contacts listed in their profile. 

• Medical emergencies: If a student faces a sudden health crisis or injury and is unable to speak, they can activate Safety Button to have help dispatched automatically.

With Safety Button, students are never truly alone, and their families can rest easier knowing reliable protection is always within reach. Whether on campus or off, Safety Button is the simple, smart solution for personal safety throughout the college experience.
