Students at a local university now have a new tool to help them stay safe on and off campus.
Indiana State University in Terre Haute has released the ISU Rave Guardian safety app for smartphones.
The app allows users to set a safety timer to notify someone they trust to check on them when they go out.
Users with the app will also be able to contact University Police with the touch of one button.
The app allows them to send text messages including photos if they see something suspicious.
The app is available on both Android and Apple devices.
