Cal State Fullerton’s Police Department launched the TitanSafety mobile application to ensure students, faculty, staff and campus visitors have 24/7 access to safety resources and information.
The app offers such features as emergency and non-emergency assistance, mental health and support resources, anonymous tip reporting, and more. Users can call 911 in an emergency, access mental health resources from CSUF Counseling and Psychological Services and the university’s Mobile Crisis Team, and request an in-person or virtual safety escort.
Additional tools include in-app chat with CSUF Police Department dispatchers, offline access to emergency plans, support resources, and campus and crime maps.
“The new TitanSafety mobile app further supports holistic safety for the Titan community and puts safety and wellness at their fingertips,” said Anthony Frisbee, CSUF PD police chief. “Whether someone needs a university resource or just wants to enhance their emergency preparedness, the app provides all this and more.”
In addition to providing safety tools, the app prioritizes protecting user privacy.
“We know privacy is incredibly important to our community. Our department personnel can’t view someone’s location unless that person allows them to, and each feature that provides that capability includes a disclaimer. Once the app is closed, or the user ends use of that feature, the location is no longer visible,” said Marissa Garza, CSUF PD public information officer.
The free TitanSafety app is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Visit the CSUF Police Department website for more information. Questions regarding the application can be directed to the CSUF Police Department at upd.pio@fullerton.edu.
