When an armed intruder is in your school
If you are a superintendent, principal, teacher, faculty or staff member in a school, you are always on the lookout for danger. Your chief concern is the safety of all students, faculty, and staff in your school. What will you do if an armed intruder enters your school?
Do you have a plan, not just for student safety, but for notifying law enforcement immediately? How can you get help quickly? Do you have a simple way to inform your staff that there is a life-threatening emergency in your building?
The SchoolGuard active shooter app immediately notifies law enforcement and all members of your faculty and staff of an emergency in your school. With the simple touch of a mobile app or click of a desktop app, everyone is made aware of the situation and can act quickly to save lives and prevent injury.
As reported by FBI statistics on active shooter events, the need for solutions in our schools is urgent. School faculty and staff need effective ways to communicate with each other and immediate access to law enforcement in an emergency situation.
How do I use the SchoolGuard® Active Shooter App?
SchoolGuard is a simple app you download to your mobile device or desktop for as many teachers, faculty and staff you would like. The app is tied to your specific location, allowing all members of your school community to be in one network.
In the event of a life-threatening emergency in your school, anyone that has the app on their phone or desktop can quickly activate the emergency alert button. The SchoolGuard app contains a verification step to prevent inadvertent activations.
Once the user verifies the threat with the slider, all law enforcement that are members of the Hero911 Network in close proximity to the location are alerted for instantaneous notification. No other emergency alert button on the market offers direct communication with nearby law enforcement.
The app also puts the person that pressed the emergency alert button in touch with 911, and also immediately alerts all school personnel at your location. The app also notifies all other Guard911 protected properties within 5 miles (in case the intruder goes mobile).
How is law enforcement contacted?
Law enforcement in the immediate area are notified via the app for the Hero911 Network, an established network of over 68,000 federal, state & local law enforcement officers.
These officers have signed up to be part of the Hero911 Network and can report quickly to the scene to provide life-saving assistance. All members of the Hero911 Network can see the location where the emergency was reported on a map displayed within the app.
Why do school faculty and staff want the SchoolGuard Active Shooter App?
The SchoolGuard active shooter app is part of a secure safety plan for any school. SchoolGuard places an emergency panic button in the hand of any teacher, staff, or faculty member.
Every school leader hopes they never have to report an emergency, but SchoolGuard gives them the confidence and freedom to do so.
The proven effectiveness and simplicity of the SchoolGuard app provides a simple and effective tool for all schools to reduce notification time, which thereby reduces response time during an emergency.
