Enhancing College Safety on Campus: Essential Tools for Students

As students gear up for the new academic year, it’s crucial to prioritize their safety on campus. College life brings new freedoms and responsibilities, but it also comes with risks, particularly related to alcohol consumption and the threat of drink spiking. Equipping students with the right tools can make a significant difference in ensuring their well-being.

The Issue: Sexual Assault on Campus

Sexual assault remains a pressing concern on college campuses. According to a recent study by the Government of Canada, 71% of post-secondary students witnessed or experienced unwanted sexual behaviors in a post-secondary setting during the previous year. This alarming statistic underscores the need for proactive measures to protect students.

Essential College Safety Tools

Two critical tools can help safeguard students from the dangers of impaired driving and drink spiking: SpikeCheck and DriveCheck. These products are designed to empower students to take control of their safety.

SpikeCheck: Drink Spike Test

SpikeCheck is an innovative drink spike test that allows students to detect foreign drugs in their beverages quickly. Whether at a party, bar, or social gathering, students can discreetly use SpikeCheck to ensure their drinks are safe. This simple yet effective tool can prevent potential incidents of drink spiking, which can lead to sexual assault or other harmful situations.

DriveCheck: Single-Use Breath Alcohol Test

DriveCheck is a single-use breath alcohol test that helps students determine their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) before deciding to drive. This tool is essential for promoting responsible drinking and preventing impaired driving. By using DriveCheck, students can make informed decisions about their ability to drive safely, reducing the risk of accidents and legal issues.

These products not only offer peace of mind but also empower students to make safer choices. As the new academic year begins, let’s prioritize college safety on campus by equipping students with the tools they need to protect themselves and their peers.

By raising awareness about these essential safety tools and making them readily available, we can create a safer and more supportive campus environment for everyone. Encourage your college-bound students to carry SpikeCheck and DriveCheck as part of their back-to-school essentials, ensuring they are prepared to handle potential safety risks effectively.
