Safety App FAQs


Follow these simple steps:

  1. Download “AppArmor” from Google Play or the App Store
  2. Register with your mobile number or ÃÛÌÒ½´email
  3. Search for & select “ÃÛÌÒ½´Methodist University”
  4. Add the “ÃÛÌÒ½´Methodist University” campus
  5. Enter your ÃÛÌÒ½´SSO username and password
  6. Update your profile to include your mobile number if not used in step 2

The app is an additional safety resource that allows you to contact ÃÛÌÒ½´Police or 911, submit a crime or non-emergency tip to ÃÛÌÒ½´Police, invite friends or family to accompany you virtually on a Friend Walk, and access other campus support resources and procedures.

Your location is shared when you are doing a Friend Walk and invite friends or family to see your location. Your general location will be shared when you submit a tip or call ÃÛÌÒ½´Police through the app. Or you can submit a tip anonymously that will not include your phone’s exact location. See the app for more information. 

Tips submitted through the app are reported directly to ÃÛÌÒ½´Police and are monitored 24/7. You have the option to initiate a two-way chat with ÃÛÌÒ½´Police to discretely report information.

If a call to ÃÛÌÒ½´Police is initiated through the app, but not completed, ÃÛÌÒ½´Police will still receive notice and attempt to message you to confirm you are safe.

Common tips reported to campus law enforcement through the app include illegal activity, suspicious behavior, or mental and physical health concerns. The ÃÛÌÒ½´Aware Safety app is just one additional way to report troubling behavior. Students can continue to report concerns to faculty, RLSH staff, and other Student Affairs professionals. Employees can contact Human Resources.
