How to do itverified summary

Baylor's Department of Public Safety (DPS) is the authoritative hub for all three needs. POLICE: The Baylor University Police Department (BUPD) is staffed 24/7 with its own dispatcher. Emergency line 254.710.2222; non-emergency line 254.710.2211. EMERGENCY ALERTS (Baylor Alert): to register/verify your contact info, log into BearWeb (https://bearweb.baylor.edu/) > Personal Information > Emergency Alert Options, review/correct your cell number, choose "I DO want to receive emergency alert text and voice messages," and Save. Alerts are delivered by text to cell, voice call to phone, email to your Baylor account, plus official Baylor websites and social channels (@Baylor). SAFETY ESCORTS: use the BU Campus Guardian smartphone app, whose Safety Timer feature creates a virtual escort/guardian (friends, family, or BUPD) as you move across campus; the DPS site also lists "Late Hour Transportation" and BU Shuttle Service. For a live escort or ride assistance, call BUPD non-emergency at 254.710.2211.
