UMd. Promotes Safety With Smartphone App

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WJZ) — The University of Maryland adds another layer of security on campus.

Pat Warren reports students are now able to designate a personal guardian through a smartphone app.

Walking the campus of the University of Maryland by yourself doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be alone.

“The app is called UMD Guardian, which allows students to select a personal guardian, which will then follow them from point A to point B virtually on the guardian’s device,” said Major Marc Limanski, University of Maryland Police Department.
