LiveSafe App and Operation ID

by Betsy Chapman

University Police shared information about two important safety and security programs that we encourage all students to use.

——————–

University Police has a new LiveSafe app and asks parents to encourage their students to download the app.  LiveSafe is a free personal mobile application for Wake Forest students to engage in a two-way conversation with WFU police. With LiveSafe, students can use their cell phones as a personal security device that allows direct access to police, 911 emergency services, emergency location sharing, information sharing with quick tips, and a peer-to-peer SafeWalk tool. Learn more here – and encourage your student to get LiveSafe on his/her cell phone.  Live Safe App

University Police also encourages students to participate in Operation ID, a nationwide program designed to discourage burglary and theft of valuables.  It also provides a way to easily identify stolen property and increases law enforcement’s chances of recovery and conviction:

“Most burglars steal valuables for resale. But if you mark all items with permanent identification numbers, the burglar may be unable to sell them. If a criminal knows all your valuables are marked, he or she will look for easier and more profitable victims.  Register your Property Here http://police.wfu.edu/forms-pubs/operation-id.”

Please encourage your student to download the LiveSafe app and to participate in Operation ID.

For mental health assistance: 336-758-CARE (2273) is a service that ensures someone will always be available (i.e., 24/7 M-F, weekends and university holidays) to provide caring and thoughtful consultation services for Wake Forest students in need of mental health assistance or support.
