Alertus Desktop Notification
Alertus is a software used by APSU Public Safety to notify all APSU owned computers in the APSU network of an incident. A screen will show the pertinent information for notification. If a student is in class and the professor is using the projector the notification will show on the screen. All APSU computer lab screens will also show the notifications.
Familiarize yourself with Austin Peay's campus safety alerts. This guide explains what each alert means and how you should respond in an emergency.
Desktop Panic Button
In addition to notification, every APSU owned and maintained computer on the secure
network has the Desktop Activator button to silently alert APSU PD of any incident
in progress. PD will immediately dispatch and Officer to your location. Your computer
must be “hardwired” to the network. The alert will not give your exact location if
you are on the wireless system.
