Updates to SURE Walk and New LiveSafe Safety App
The University of Texas Police Department (UTPD) welcomes the return of students, faculty and staff who will be back on campus this fall. We wish to reassure our community that our operations during the pandemic never ceased. We are actively present at all hours on campus and nearby. Over the summer, we expanded our service area.
New LiveSafe Safety App

New this fall UTPD has launched the LiveSafe at UT Austin application. The app features a Virtual Walk function that allows you to invite someone in your contact list to virtually follow your movement as you walk or travel in a vehicle. LiveSafe at UT Austin also gives you the ability to have an instant text conversation with UTPD. You may send photos and videos to help dispatchers respond to your emergency.
Because we know that our community members often work or study on campus late into the evening, Parking and Transportation Services makes special accommodations for your safety. Please utilize the SURE Walk and UT Night Rides programs
