As a Laurier student, we want you to feel safe on campus. Our mobile safety application, SAFEHawk, features campus-specific emergency contacts at all Laurier locations, personal support resources, safety tips, new feeds and accessibility information. SAFEHawk complements our existing Emergency Notification System (ENS) by sending out important security updates as they occur.
SAFEHawk is available as a free download on iPhone, Android and Blackberry devices. The app incorporates click-to-call functionality, immediately connecting users with campus support services such as the Special Constable Service and the Wellness Centre.
Off-campus resources such as police services, Good2Talk and Here24/7 can also be reached via click-to-call features. SAFEHawk has a flashlight function, loud alarm and the ability to send the user’s location to Laurier’s Special Constable Service.
SAFEHawk allows you to:
The SAFEHawk App allows you to pick your campus to have resources tailored to you and your main campus.
Work Alone is a feature that has been added to the SAFEHawk App to ensure the safety of Laurier students.
As per policy 7.15, all employees (including student employees) working alone in their building or office may be required to call the Special Constable Service periodically to ensure safety. The Work Alone feature in the SAFEHawk App allows you to check in through the app; it will also send an alert reminding you to check in.
Although not required, even non-employee students can register and check in to the Special Constable Service using the Work Alone feature.
If a student or employee fails to check in, a special constable will be dispatched to their registered location.
