NJCU’s Department of Public Safety encourages you to download the Rave Guardian free mobile app that turns your smartphone into a personal safety device.

The app also has a safety feature that directly connects you to campus security and the Jersey City Police Department in an emergency situation, as well as the abilit to submit an anonymous tip to campus security should you see something suspicious.
On behalf of the NJCU Department of Public Safety, I encourage all students, faculty and staff to enhance their personal safety and the safety of their friends by downloadin the free app. Simply search “Rave Guardian” in the app store on your mobile device.
