UMF Safe App — FREE
The new UMF Safe App is a free, downloadable, University of Maine at Farmington-specific app that puts a collection of safety resources at students’ and campus community members’ fingertips — 24/7.
Features include direct access to campus police and emergency numbers, a trackable virtual Friend Walk, and direct links to common campus support resources that will help students have a successful college experience.
The UMF Safe App is available free for both iPhone and Android smartphones. Go to your store and use the search term, UMF Safe.
A key feature of the app is the virtual Friend Walk, a tool that allows an individual to send a message to a friend with a link so they can track that person virtually as they walk to their destination.
UMF Safe works with the GPS functionality of an individual’s phone and shows their location on a map, their progress, and their safe arrival at their destination. If they need assistance for any reason, there is a button to notify their friend and initiate a call to Campus Police.
The app was developed by Wayne Drake, former Police Sergeant with UMF’s Department of Public Safety / Campus Police, with federal support from the Corona Virus Emergency Supplemental Fund.
