RAVE Guardian

Tuesday, October 15, 2024

With safety at top of mind, the University of Arkansas - Pulaski Technical College Campus Police Department has launched Rave Guardian, a free mobile app that turns your smartphone into a personal safety device.

By downloading Rave Guardian on your mobile device, you can invite friends and family to join your network as your “Guardians.” Once you have established who you want to be your Guardians, you can request one or more of them to virtually walk with you on or off campus. It’s like having an emergency blue light system and a trusted friend with you at all times.

Installing Rave Guardian:

DOWNLOAD ON THE APP STORE | DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY

Important: When installing Rave Guardian, SIGN UP using your UA - Pulaski Tech e-mail.
