About SafeZone
SafeZone was founded in 2011 and is now used across the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia at various higher education institutions.
It allows the campus community to report anything unusual and campus security will see it in Dispatch. Conversely, messages can be sent to either all SafeZone users or those within a geo-fence (think chemical spill).
For more information on SafeZone such as videos and FAQs, visit their web site. You may also e-mail customer service.
