Designed with input from students, faculty and staff, the SafeMSU App provides access to valuable safety resources direct to Spartan’s hands. A key feature of the app is the virtual friend walk. This function allows Spartans to share their location with a friend in real-time so they can follow their progress to their destination. The friend can also contact the police immediately if they feel there is a problem.

Other features include:

  • NEW FEATURE:  SafeMSU now includes What3Words, a powerful location-sharing tool that helps first responders find you faster during an emergency.
  • One-touch emergency calls
  • Virtual friend walk

The app can be downloaded through the Apple Store and Google Play.
