Drive Downloads & Usage

Effective community-sourced risk intelligence is dependent upon user engagement. As your institution focuses on incident prevention, your students, faculty, and staff need to know when and how to use the Vector LiveSafe platform.

ZDNet, a leading business technology news site, reports that the average person spends 4.8 hours on their mobile phones each day. In addition, Americans check their phones 96 times daily, according to new research by tech care company Asurion. Although we use our mobile phones now more than ever, it’s not to make phone calls - it’s for the apps. With Vector LiveSafe’s risk mitigation capabilities, it is not just “another app” on your phone; even if your students, faculty, and staff are learning or working from home, they can use Vector LiveSafe to report safety and security incidents, access relevant policies and procedures, and keep your institution safe and healthy.

Use this toolkit to drive downloads and engagement or increase Vector LiveSafe usage at your institution.
