Kickin’ it with Cops

Kickin’ it with Cops successfully kicked off Tuesday by eleven-year police veteran and current Southern University Police Chief Joycelyn Johnson at the helm.
Held in the intramural sports complex the event billed itself as an informational for students to learn the options they have to safe safe and to increase officer relationships among campus.
Chief Johnson stated that her goal for Kickin it with Cops was to help students take advantage of the opportunities they have to protect themselves thanks to the JagSafe app.
During the informational Chief Johnson shared her experiences with students reiterating her belief in safety and the advancements SUPD has made in recent years saying to the group of students that, “As times change, things change.”
Johnson then introduced students to what she referred to as an innovative mobile app called JagSafe.
The purpose of JagSafe is to ensure the safety of students on campus.
Recently the app has undergone some scrutiny concerning its effectiveness in emergency situations.
Johnson elaborated on certain features within the app that she says make it a discrete and convenient way of contacting authorities on campus.
SUPD Officer Brian Philson gave a hypothetical situation in which a student might use the app.
“If a roommate were to smoke an illegal substance, then a student would have the power to submit a photo or video on the JagSafe app and report it to SUPD” said Felton.
Felton added that this method can also work for any other illegal or suspicious activity a student might encounter.
Student who would like more information about the JagSafe app or to report problems are encouraged to contact the Southern University Police Department during regular office hours.
