Unique Partnership with Subscriber Colleges and
Universities
Campus Guardian changes the face of Campus security by placing
emergency management tools in the hands of everyone involved:
the caller, the Public Safety dispatcher and the local first
responders. When a school elects to install Campus Guardian,
it provides its students and staff with an immediate link
to the school's Public Safety organization via their cell
phone, and provides its Public Safety organization with
the latest technology to detect and effectively respond
to emergencies.
Officers patrolling the campus are notified electronically
when Campus Guardian reports an emergency. The caller's
location and the locations of all available officers are
displayed on a high resolution image of the campus in the
dispatcher's office and a location description is sent directly
to the responding officers' phones. Locations are updated
several times a minute to help direct officers to the caller,
even if the caller is moving.
Campus Public Safety and Campus Guardian work together to
deploy a system that provides information to Public Safety
officers in a way that expedites their response to any emergency.
Maps are labeled to describe areas in a way that is clearly
understood by the officers. Officers receive additional
training, and practice with the system to ensure that they
are able to maximize its potential. The school provides
officers with GPS-enabled cell phones to support locating
them and guiding them to the caller. Data collected by the
system enables Public Safety to review and continuously
improve procedures.
Management Team
Campus Guardian was founded by individuals with extensive
experience in law enforcement, security and communications.
They understand that response time is often the most critical
factor in an emergency and developed Campus Guardian to
reduce or eliminate sources of delayed responses.
