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

- Mobile Bluelight: Send your location to VPCC security in real-time in case of a crisis
- Friend Walk: Send your location to a friend through email or SMS on your device.
