The app, SC Safe, has several tools available to keep those who visit campus safe.
Schoolcraft College has rolled out one more tool to keep students and visitors safe.
SC Safe is a new app available that provides several safety outlets for those on campus. The app provides a way to contact the Schoolcraft College Police Department, a full list of safety plans for various emergencies and even a way for friends to keep an eye out for those walking across campus.
The Friend Walk feature allows users to send their location to a contact of their choosing. The contact will then receive a link where they can track their friend’s movement in real-time, ensuring they make it to their destination safely. Once the user makes it to their destination, they can disconnect the session.
In addition to the safety features, the app allow users to connect with other resources, such as academic counseling, sexual assault help and mental health counseling. A set of maps of every campus, including the Public Safety Training Complex and the Manufacturing and Engineering Center, is also included.
“Having this app is a great tool to help everyone on campus feel safer,” said Mark Engstrom, Schoolcraft College Police Chief. “We’re excited to offer this app to our students, staff and guests and look forward to utilizing this new platform to keep the Schoolcraft College community better informed.” The free app is available for both iOS and Android devices. It can be downloaded through the App Store and Google Play.
