The University of Vermont has implemented use of the LiveSafe app which is a versatile mobile two-way safety communications platform and safety tool. It provides campus community members the ability to share information with campus safety partners, including calling or messaging Police for emergency help from anywhere.  It's like having a Blue Light in your pocket!  The SafeWalk feature provides a 24/7 virtual escort tool for walking, biking, or riding.

Emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic the Division of Safety & Compliance, together with a host of on and off campus partners is working in several areas to modernize our campus safety and security strategy. Our work is in three distinct but overlapping areas of focus - teams, tools & technology, and training.

Campus safety is enhanced when all community members identify and report behaviors of concern in a caring and timely manner. It is important for all campus affiliates to be mindful of threats and concerning behavior on campus and the broader community.  Early identification of concerns enables early intervention to more effectively address behaviors that are threatening or significantly disruptive to the learning, living, and working environment. There are sometimes concerns about behavior or incidents that you may not feel fall squarely into a “threat” category. Behavior notably out of the norm on the part of a friend or co-worker, and discovery of hate speech – which may fall short of a direct threat - directed at a group or person are two of many examples.
