Companion. Theresa a new app called companion that will let your friends virtually walk you home. This app is available for android and iPhone. Basically it uses your location services, and then you type in where you're going. You then send it to some people I your contacts on your phone, and even if they don't have the app they can see how far you've gotten. There's two buttons, a "I feel nervous button" which allows you to anonymously report the areas that you feel unsafe in, and the the "call 911" button. The 911 button allows you to call police when needed, but it isn't the type of button that you can accidentally hit, it'll ask you to press it again. Once you've arrived at your destination, it'll send another message out to your friends saying that you have arrived safely.
