Bowdoin Safe 17+‎

Bowdoin Safe is the official safety app of Bowdoin College. It is the only app that integrates with Bowdoin College's safety and security systems. The Office of Safety and Security has worked to develop a unique app that provides students, faculty and staff with added safety on the Bowdoin College campus. The app will send you important safety alerts and provide instant access to campus safety resources.
