TOTUS Alert

The TOTUS Alert app is a 2 way "incident reporting" system to improve overall safety and security.

People can quickly report suspicious or criminal activities to security officers. A security dispatcher may broadcast alerts and notifications to smartphones, for example: South Building is closed due to no heat, the facility is closed due to severe weather, etc. Personal safety can be enhanced by enabling a virtual escort (EscortMe) while walking on or nearby a campus or facility. Using this app, people can send photos, text messages, and locations of suspicious activity or other safety concerns.

Skywriter feature allows you to do a quick "shout-out" to friends, family or others. Send "I'm here and I am OK" or "I am here, and I need Help". Message can be sent by SMS, Email, Twitter or Facebook.  Skywriter sends a map of your location along with the message.

* The “Report a Problem” button allows users to send text and photos directly to security personnel or to the facilities manager using the ELERTS EPIC console. Note: To ensure discretion, the camera flash is automatically disabled when photos are taken through the app. When reporting an issue, users can select report categories to assist security personnel.
