Three UK universities combine security forces in emergency communications' alliance
The University of Manchester, the University of Salford and Manchester Metropolitan University have created the Manchester SafeZone Alliance, an initiative enabling the three university security control rooms to extend the footprint of 24/7 support beyond their campus boundaries.
The collaboration between the three Greater Manchester universities, using SafeZone technology from CriticalArc, enables security teams to provide faster response and assistance to their students and staff. In the event of an emergency, students and staff are directly connected to the appropriate safety and security team or first responder via the SafeZone phone application.
