Gator Ready

VPCC Gator Ready is the official safety app of Virginia Peninsula Community College. It is the only app that integrates with VPCC's safety and security systems. The Department of Police, Safety, and Security has worked to develop a unique app that provides students, faculty and staff with added safety on the VPCC campus. The app will send you important safety alerts and provide instant access to campus safety resources.

Gator Ready features include:

• Emergency Contacts: Contact the correct services for the VPCC area in case of an emergency or a non-emergency concern

• Mobile Bluelight: Send your location to VPCC security in real-time in case of a crisis

• Friend Walk: Send your location to a friend through email or SMS on your device. Once the friend accepts the Friend Walk request, the user picks their destination and their friend tracks their location in real time; they can keep an eye on them to make sure they make it safely to their destination.

• Tip Reporting: Multiple ways to report a safety/security concern directly to VPCC security.

• Virtual Walk: Allow Campus Security to monitor a user’s walk. If a user feels unsafe when walking on campus, they can request a Virtual WalkHome and a dispatcher on the other end will monitor their journey until they reach their destination.
