Dedicated to ensuring the safety of everyone on our campuses, UT San Antonio Public Safety provides security services including 24-hour campus patrols, safety escorts, blue light emergency telephones that link directly to the university police department’s dispatch and more.
The SafeZone app provides instant, 24/7 access to help on campus — whether it’s an emergency, non-emergency, crisis or a quick report to the university’s police department. Your device’s GPS is only activated when you initiate an alert, and location sharing automatically ends once the alert is canceled, ensuring privacy.
University Public Safety Officers and Rowdy Watch student employees provide UT San Antonio students and employees with 24/7, on-demand safety escorts to vehicles and on-campus destinations. Additionally, safety escorts from Centro ambassadors are available during designated times.
UT San Antonio partners with Centro San Antonio to provide enhanced services that support a safe, clean and welcoming campus experience at our downtown locations. Centro ambassadors provide a visible presence to improve safety by attempting to dissuade illegal or uncivil behavior. Centro kiosks are strategically located to provide services and information to the downtown community. Working in teams of two, ambassadors travel between campuses and report incidents and unlawful activity to the university’s police department.
The university offers a broad network of emergency blue phones strategically placed on our campuses. Pushing the call button activates a direct phone line to university police as a 911 call from that location. University police will immediately dispatch officers to the area to respond.
Parents, visitors and other campus guests can opt in to receive university emergency alerts during events, camps and other activities. To sign up, text UTSAGuest to 59713. Registration lasts for 120 days, at which time you can renew if preferred. To cancel at any time, reply STOP.
