Downtown Safety

Centro San Antonio

UTSA partners with Centro San Antonio to provide enhanced services that support a safe, clean and welcoming campus experience at our downtown locations. Centro ambassadors provide a visible presence to improve safety by attempting to dissuade illegal or uncivil behavior. Centro kiosks are strategically located to provide services and information to the downtown community. Working in teams of two, ambassadors travel between campuses and report incidents and unlawful activity to UTSAPD.

Campus Safety Escorts

UTSAPD officers and Rowdy Watch student employees provide UTSA students and employees with 24/7, on-demand safety escorts to vehicles and on-campus destinations. Additionally, safety escorts from Centro ambassadors are available during designated times.

Emergency Alerts for Guests

Parents, visitors and other campus guests can opt in to receive emergency UTSA text alerts during events, camps and other activities. To sign up, text UTSA Guest to 59713.

Registration lasts for 120 days, at which time you can renew if preferred. To cancel at any time, reply with STOP UTSAGuest.

Additionally, SafeZone delivers timely emergency notifications, providing continuous support across all UTSA campuses.

SafeZone

The SafeZone safety app offers instant access to emergency dispatchers and responders, accurately pinpointing and sharing your location when help is needed. Your device’s GPS is only activated when you initiate an alert, and location sharing automatically ends once the alert is canceled, ensuring privacy.
