The Humber Guardian App
The Department of Public Safety has launched an app that puts safety in the hands of Humber students, faculty and staff.
With just one touch, the Humber Guardian App provides quick access to campus safety, emergency contacts, support resources and transit information.
Protection and Security Investigation student Taras Yurechko, 20, downloaded the app Feb. 24 and said he’s finding the App very useful.
“The app looks pretty good to me, ” said Yureckho. He added that he finds the emergency feature of the app very helpful.
Bachelor of Nursing Student Danielle Gibbs, 24, said she downloaded the app on Feb. 20, but she isn’t very pleased with the transit information presented.
“I am most disappointed in the transit feature. All it does is link me to the Brampton call Centre. Google does better than linking me,” said Gibbs.
The app was released on Feb. 19 for Apple, Android and Blackberry Smartphones.
