Kinetic Global Personal Safety App

Visit angelo.edu/safety-app to download app.

Student Life and University Police have partnered to bring an exciting phone app to ASU called Kinetic Global. The app is available at no cost to students, faculty, and staff. Primary student funding for Kinetic Global is possible through the Student Organization Leadership Fund.

Kinetic Global is a personal safety mobile application for iPhone and Android. While you are walking around campus or about your daily lives, you can arm the app by placing your thumb on your smartphone screen. To initiate immediate emergency response, all you have to do is remove your thumb from the screen. If something happens to you, authorities can be dispatched within seconds. A hands-free timer mode can be used for longer activities such as jogging, carrying books or shopping bags or walking through a parking lot to find your car.

Not only does Kinetic Global alert a 24-hour call center during an emergency, it also provides the call center and up to seven chosen lifelines with real-time GPS location and tracking. This feature helps responding emergency personnel pinpoint your exact location and expedites their response.

Angelo State was one of the first universities in the country to offer this phone app to its campus community.

Alertus Desktop™

The University Police Department, Information Technology and the Office of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management have been testing a new software program called Alertus Desktop™. This companion software will further enhance emergency ASUAlert notifications to the campus community. A small-scale test of the Alertus Desktop™ software was incorporated into the October campus-wide annual test of ASUAlert.

Alertus Desktop™ is an enterprise software solution for overriding computer displays across a network system with critical alert messages. When an alert is initiated, targeted client computers are overridden with a full-screen alert containing information regarding the nature of the campus emergency. Recipients simply click an acknowledgment button at the bottom of their screen to close the alert and simultaneously provide acknowledgment to campus safety officials who originated the notification.

The ability of Alertus Desktop™ to “push” emergency messages out to networked PCs will further assist campus emergency officials in disseminating important information and alerting individuals to specific campus emergencies. The new feature should be fully implemented and operational in early Spring 2013.
