The app allows users to directly connect with the UTC Police via one-touch panic button functionality, anonymously report suspicious activity, initiate a remotely monitored Safe Walk, request a Safe Ride, and quickly access other campus resources. The new app is free to download from the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/safe-utc\/id6753820655\">Apple App Store<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=edu.utc.safemocs&amp;pcampaignid=web_share\">Google Play Store<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the implementation of 911Cellular and the launch of the Safe@UTC app, we have taken our campus safety commitment to the next level,\u201d UTC Director of Emergency Management, Threat Assessment, and Safety Brett Fuchs said. \u201cKeeping our community safe is a top priority at UTC. We now have a sophisticated security solution that enhances our ability to respond to emergencies and another tool to help prevent them in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For emergency responders, the system provides real-time situational visibility, including precise location details, shared maps and other critical content. Incident-specific alerts help route information to the teams best equipped to respond, supporting faster action and improved coordination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 911Cellular Safety Platform and the Safe@UTC app are incredible tools to help us make students and employees feel safe anywhere, anytime. The app is customized to meet the specific needs of our faculty, staff and students,\u201d said UTC Associate Vice Chancellor for Public Safety and Chief of Police Sean O\u2019Brien, who added: \u201cPlease don\u2019t wait until an emergency to download the app.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of the expanded safety infrastructure, UTC is also introducing additional on-campus safety options for employees, including wearable, computer-based and wall-mounted panic buttons. Like the Safe@UTC app, these tools connect directly with campus security to support coordinated response during critical situations.<\/p>\n<p>The app and related safety tools are being deployed in partnership with 911Cellular\u2014one of the country\u2019s top critical communications systems. Its safety solutions are deployed in thousands of facilities across the country and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Safe@UTC app is a customized security solution designed specifically with the UTC community in mind,\u201d 911Cellular Chief Executive Officer Chad Salahshour said. \u201cKeeping students and school staff safe is at the heart of what we do, and it\u2019s our mission to make it easier to act fast, communicate clearly and protect what matters most during an emergency\u2014each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">#\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 #\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 #\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 #\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 #\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 #<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT 911CELLULAR:\u00a0<\/strong>911Cellular is an emergency alert system, safety app and panic button company protecting over 1 million community members worldwide. 911Cellular\u2019s unprecedented safety technology bridges communication gaps by building lifesaving tools that connect first responders, administrators, and their community members. 911Cellular currently offers customized safety solutions for the Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12 Schools, and Public Safety sectors.
