Mobile Security

Baltimore, Maryland - February 25, 2014: University of Baltimore Police Officer J.T. Smith goes on patrol with a military grade tablet using the LiveSafe mobile app, which connects University of Baltimore faculty, staff, students and parents of students with UB Public Safety Officers.
There are a number of increasingly sophisticated, commercially available mobile safety applications being used in higher ed to bolster communication and emergency response. They arrive amid a national conversation about safety on college campuses that has extended to the White House. The technology stretches beyond mass alerting systems, that were made law after the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting and facilitate emergency notifications by email, text message, and loudspeaker, among other mediums.
