Safety still a priority for SUPD

The Southern University Campus Police Department wants the students who have not signed up for the Jag Safe application are encouraged to do so as soon as possible. According to the Administrative Deputy of Southern University Campus Police Department, Kevin Johnson, the application is available for all iPhone and Android users. With the Jag Safe application, you have access to many features such as the “Get Help” button, which automatically calls campus police to your aide. You can also request a safety escort, which allows you to call SUPD to request an escort to your vehicle. The application can allow you to report suspicious activity or a crime at the touch of a button and allows you to either upload picture or video of the criminal activity that takes place. Be sure to read the Emergency Guides section, which gives you all the information you will need in case of an emergency. According to the www.subr.edu in the campus police under the Jag Safe application, the Emergency notification is the only function of the app that you do not have to activate. The “Friend Watch” feature is for when you are alone and want additional safety. In this section you are allowed to set a timer but if you do not deactivate the timer, it will send a text to your emergency contact and tell them you did not deactivate it.
The Department will also like for students to download the bus tracker app from the app store under “911 Cellular bus tracker.” It’s free and allows you to track where the campus bus shuttle is and how long you will have to wait for the bus to arrive. According to the school website under Jag Safe, you will no longer have to call for the campus shuttle again.
