CWRU Shield, the location-based smartphone safety app, will undergo maintenance today (Dec. 19) from 5 to 6 p.m. and tomorrow (Dec. 20) from midnight to 6 a.m.
During these times, users accessing the app to report emergencies will be directed to 911 instead of the nearest authorities.
CWRU Shield launched in April and is an effort to:
- provide students, staff and faculty new ways to report suspicious behavior and actual incidents; and
- give first responders additional options to obtain key information in case of an emergency.
The free app can be downloaded on the iPhone App Store or on Google Play.
