All current 彩民宝典 students, faculty and staff have access to a free public safety smartphone app (Lifeline Enterprise) featuring two ways for users to call for help in case of an emergency.
LifeLine Features:
- The app has听a button on the screen of the smartphone that allows听you to press and hold it when听you encounter a threatening situation. When听you lift your thumb from the screen, a timer begins counting down to allow you to disarm the alert before it is sent. If you do not disarm the alert, you are contacted by the LifeLine Enterprise dispatch center who will validate the alert and call the police department with your location if needed.
- A second听feature allows you听to听set a specific amount of time for an听activity, such as walking home from class or going on a run. If you do not deactivate the app before the specific amount of time has expired, an听alert will be triggered and LifeLine Enterprise will attempt to contact you and validate the alert.听If they are unable to make contact with you, they听will contact the local police department and provide your last known location.
- LifeLine Enterprise allows you听to enter three or more 鈥渓ifelines鈥� in your听profile. These 鈥渓ifelines鈥� will be notified only when LifeLine Enterprise determines the alert to be real and that you are听are in danger. So when they call听the local police department,听an alert is sent听to your 鈥渓ifelines鈥� providing them with a notification of trouble, your last known location provided by your mobile phone, and contact information for your local police department for that 鈥渓ifeline鈥� to contact. If you enter your code after you realize that you triggered an alert inadvertently, the 鈥渓ifelines鈥� also听will get a second notification stating that you are safe.
Download the app:
- To download the app, use your phone and go to the听, enter your phone number, and they will send you a text that will link to your app store to download.
- Once you have the app, open it on your phone and听and use your听Identikey@colorado.edu听email address and select 彩民宝典 from the list.
The Lifeline company has two versions of their mobile safety app. One is for private citizens who have to听pay for it on their own, while the other is for universities and corporations to purchase for their community to use free. The latter is the one that 彩民宝典 students, faculty, and staff should download. Be听sure to search the app store for听Lifeline Enterprise.
