Campus safety has become an increasing concern for students, parents, and university staff. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, over 28,000 criminal incidents were reported on college campuses in 2021 alone. With growing safety concerns, TruAlert is emerging as a powerful solution to help colleges reduce crime rates and improve student security.
The Campus Safety Challenge
Universities often struggle to maintain safety on large, open campuses where students come and go at all hours. Incidents like theft, assaults, and vandalism are common, especially in areas with rising crime rates. In Orange County, where universities like UC Irvine are located, these concerns are heightened by increasing crime in surrounding communities.
While traditional security measures like campus patrols, emergency call boxes, and surveillance cameras provide some protection, they aren’t always enough to deliver immediate help in critical moments. These solutions often lack real-time responsiveness, leaving gaps in campus security. This is where TruAlert makes a significant impact.
