Curry College Safe App

The Curry College Safe App, developed by Curry’s Office of Public Safety and the Information Technology team, aims to enhance the safety of our students via their mobile devices. This app provides a range of features including emergency notifications, a mobile blue light, crime/incident reporting, a virtual walk home, and more. This app is an additional safety tool to our RAVE emergency alert system.

Curry students are encouraged to download this free app. With Curry Safe, you can stay connected and receive important campus notifications, communicate with campus safety, and gain access to resources. You can download the app on your Apple device from the Apple App Store or on your Android device from Google Play.

Please note that Curry Safe does not track or monitor the location of the app users. Any voluntary location that is shared will only be available during that specific call or chat session.

Safe App Features

Easy Emergency Communications

With a push of a button, you can directly connect to 9-1-1 for off-campus emergencies or to Public Safety in an on-campus emergency. Utilize the chat feature to quickly communicate with our team of dispatchers 24/7, 365 days a year.

Mobile Blue Light

While you are on campus, tap the Mobile Blue Light button to simultaneously send your GPS location and call Public Safety dispatch.  They will receive your location in real-time and speak to you on the phone. If you are unable to use the phone feature, you can initiate a chat with Public Safety.

Safe Walk

Send your location in real-time to a friend so they can watch you as you walk to your destination. They’ll watch you and can trigger a call to emergency services if necessary. It is as simple as sending a text message to a family or friend and they will be sent a link used to follow you. Once you reach your destination, you can simply disconnect.

Tip Reporting

Prevent dangerous situations by submitting a tip—anonymously or associated with your profile—and have real-time chat interactions with a member of Public Safety. This way, the Public Safety team can get the information they need about suspicious behavior, unsafe situations, or crimes and you can be sure the issue is being reported without drawing attention from those around you. The app allows you to text suspicious activity using photos or video.

Be Prepared with Emergency Plans

Do you know what to do in the event of an emergency on campus? Be prepared by reviewing Curry’s emergency plans.

Safety Toolbox

This section includes links to important safety related resources as well as the “I’m OK!” feature which will send your location and a message indicating that you are okay to a recipient of your choosing.

Push Notifications

The Curry College Safe app offers a seamless notification process in the event of an emergency. In extreme circumstances, phone lines may prevent some messages from going through quickly; Curry Safe’s push notifications allow you to get the message almost instantaneously, even if you don’t have cellular service, such as in the basement of a building (Wi-Fi access would be necessary).
