FAQS

Q: How do I sign-up?
A: After downloading the app, sign in using your UHCL username and password

• If you feel threatened, or if someone is threatening or has just threatened you.
• If you have been assaulted or are the victim of a robbery.
• If you are hurt or injured (or use First Aid if it’s a minor injury).
• If you see somebody else being threatened, assaulted or robbed.

Q: What if I accidentally press a button?
A: When you tap any of the three SafeZone alert buttons, a “timer” circle is shown winding down (like a clock). If you accidentally press any SafeZone Call button, you can cancel the Call by tapping the button again while the “timer” is winding down. After the Call (Alert) has been sent, you can still cancel your request, but you will still be contacted by Police Dispatch to be sure that you are OK

Q: Will I be tracked all the time?
A: No, the SafeZone app only shares your location with the UHCL Police when you press one of the three alert buttons (Emergency, Medical, Assistance), or Check-In.
Your right to privacy is always respected and you can cancel an alert or a check-in at any time.
