Quick Access to Critical Information
Receive real-time campus updates from the @cwru twitter news feed, along with quick access to critical phone numbers like campus police. Users also can access other important numbers for safety, mental health, wellness resources and more.
Easy Emergency Communication
Spartan Safe provides a Mobile BlueLight feature allowing users to relay their position in real time to a dispatcher and initiate an emergency call to public safety. Additionally, the Friend Walk feature lets users send their position to a friend via SMS or email—the user can set their destination and the friend can watch as the user walks to their destination. Both the user and friend can hit the emergency button if anything happens during the walk.
Anonymous Tip Reporting and Chat
Submit an in-app tip report either by phone call or an 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.
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 the message 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.
