About this app

SJU Safe is the official safety app of Saint Joseph's University. It is the only app that integrates with SJU's safety and security systems. Public Safety has worked to develop a unique app that provides students, faculty and staff with added safety on the SJU campus. The app will send you important safety alerts and provide instant access to campus safety resources.

SJU Safe features include:

- Emergency Contacts: Contact the correct services for the SJU area in case of an emergency or a non-emergency concern

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

- Friend Walk: Send your location to a friend through email or SMS on your device.
