Live Smart … Live Safe

SafeD Athens Inc is a nonpartisan 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to enhancing safety and security infrastructure for the campus and city of Athens communities by working with law enforcement, city government, state entities, and the University of Georgia, Athens campus. We are a substantive working group of over 4,000 parents, students, and community members work proactively to bring safety and security programs that will uniquely serve our students and the entire community of Athens. Having to react to horrific events is not an acceptable answer; proactive avoidance is key. We are not directly affiliated with the University of Georgia or Athens-Clarke County.

We partner with other committed nonprofits with similar charters to find solutions and implement cutting edge safety and security programs to better the community.  Our goal is to simply reduce risk and trauma.  In doing so we hope to contribute in making the campus and city of Athens communities safer, cleaner, and more walkable environments. We aspire to an exciting “town and gown” community relationship.  UGA champions a top 10 public university, a renowned Research institution, a music and art mecca, an athletic powerhouse; all supported by a small Southern town rich in history, legacy, and tradition.  Safety is always ever changing and dynamic.  Our mission to enhance safety and security infrastructure on and off campus is unending; we can always do more and be better.
