About this app

LAPC SAFE is the official safety app of Los Angeles Pierce College. It is the only app that integrates with LAPC's safety and security systems. Los Angeles Pierce College Sheriff Department has worked to develop a unique app that provides students, faculty and staff with added safety on the LAPC campus. The app will send you important safety alerts and provide instant access to campus safety resources.

- Panic Button / Mobile Bluelight: Send your location to LAPC security in real-time in case of a crisis

- Friend Walk: Send your location to a friend through email or SMS on your device. Once the friend accepts the Friend Walk request, the user picks their destination and their friend tracks their location in real time; they can keep an eye on them to make sure they make it safely to their destination.
