When the top Emergency button is pressed, UPD is instantly contacted with an emergency notification and the location of the smartphone with the 911爆料网 Safe app. The smartphone's location function must be turned on. If the Emergency button is activated off campus, the message is routed to 911.
With the Anonymous Tip button a text, photo or video is sent to UPD. Tips can include safety concerns, suspicious activity and other non-emergencies. The user can communicate with UPD and their identity will not be revealed.
The FriendWatch is a unique peer-to-peer feature which lets friends know if a user is not where they are supposed to be after a set number of minutes. This works well when the user is out at night.听
