Overview
EyeWitness makes the entire campus community the eyes and ears of UIS Police through text messaging technology. Universities average just one campus officer for every 524 students. Campus crimes typically take place in the inevitable gaps of this limited police visibility. To fill the gaps, no technology is more powerful than the eyes and ears of the student body. The key is finding a way to enlist students on their own terms. By utilizing text messages to increase student participation, EyeWitness strengthens campus watch by enlisting the student body to become tipsters.
