JANUARY 31, 2025 — UTSA Public Safety and UTSA Business Continuity and Emergency Management recently launched SafeZone, a new campus safety app that helps students, faculty and staff stay connected and safe on campus. The new app joins the robust lineup of safety resources available to the Roadrunner community.
The SafeZone app strengthens UTSA’s commitment to prioritize campus safety by providing fast and easy access to emergency services and the UTSA Police Department (UTSAPD), as well as emergency notifications from Business Continuity and Emergency Management.
In the event of an emergency or non-emergency incident on campus, app users can quickly raise an alert to UTSAPD. Once an alert has been raised, the device’s location is shared with UTSAPD, and the app can be used to call UTSAPD or communicate with them via two-way messaging. The SafeZone app can also connect students to UTSA’s confidential Mental Health Crisis Helpline, providing easy access to assistance from a counselor.
“SafeZone puts emergency services at Roadrunners’ fingertips,” said UTSA Chief of Police Stephanie Schoenborn. “Quick access to these services, crime prevention and personal safety education, and ongoing partnerships between the police and the campus community are all key to fostering a safe and thriving campus environment. SafeZone is a great tool that supports all of these efforts.”
