The latest apps are listed below:

  • Red River College – RRC Mobile Safety
  • The University of British Columbia, Okanagan – UBC SAFE
  • Georgian College – SAFE@Georgian
  • Centennial College – Campus Safety Watch
  • The University of Florida – GATOR SAFE

“I am very pleased to recommend AppArmor’s Mobile Safety Platform,” said David Clarke, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for Red River College. “Their staff worked with us every step of the way to design exactly what we were looking for. Their professionalism and ongoing support have been second to none.”
