WHEN I WAS A STUDENT AT UC SANTA BARBARA
getting around our community that spanned one square mile was mainly by foot or bike. During the day this is almost never an issue, but once it gets dark, the area can become dangerous for students. Unfortunately, hearing cases of assault and violence is not uncommon, and those who are venturing out at night are at a risk, leaving students feeling vulnerable at a place that should be home.
Guardian provides you with a sense of security by checking up on you and when there is no response, your emergency contacts are alerted and notified of your location. If 911 is called, it will begin an automatic recording session. The app also includes an integrated map to give you a clear idea of where you’re going and quick access to your emergency contacts.
This isn’t limited to just college students who want to get around safely. Whether you’re going on a hike alone or meeting up with an online buyer or seller such as responding to a Craigslist ad, safety is always the main priority and concern. Guardian will ensure that.
