Guard911 panic alert app on FirstNet

Guard911, SchoolGuard, CampusGuard911, and Hero911 Earn FirstNet Verified Designation

May 5, 2021 Guard911

First Responders on FirstNet Can Now Access the Guard911, SchoolGuard, CampusGuard911, and Hero911 apps via the FirstNet App Catalog

Following a rigorous review process, the Guard911, SchoolGuard, CampusGuard911, and Hero911 mobile applications are now FirstNet® Verified and accessible via the FirstNet App Catalog.

These four mobile applications empower our country’s teachers, workers, citizens, and law enforcement officers in active shooter or armed intruder incident with immediate emergency help in the palm of their hands. With the single touch of a button on a mobile screen, these apps significantly reduce law enforcement notification time which thereby reduces subsequent response time, the only way to save lives in an armed intruder emergency.

FirstNet, Built with AT&T – America’s public safety network – features the first-ever App Catalog geared to first responders, featuring more than 205 apps relevant to emergency management. This gives FirstNet subscribers a dedicated location to find meaningful new solutions that have been specifically reviewed for use with FirstNet services. Before any mobile solution can be added to the FirstNet App Catalog, they must undergo stringent tests for security, relevancy, data privacy and more.

“Our apps are the only emergency alert apps in the country backed by the federally approved Hero911 Network of more than 68,000 federal, state, and local law enforcement officers,” said Nate McVicker, Founder of Guard911. “Now that our apps are FirstNet Verified, our users have yet another reason to trust that we are providing them with the best that modern mobile technology has to offer in order to keep our communities as safe as possible.”

Achieving a FirstNet Verified designation means Guard911, SchoolGuard, CampusGuard911, and Hero911 are vetted and trusted solutions for public safety, meeting FirstNet app requirements. Additionally, FirstNet subscribers will benefit from FirstNet network reliability while using these applications.

Built with AT&T, in public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority, FirstNet is bringing public safety communications into the 21st century with new, innovative capabilities to strengthen first responders’ incident response. FirstNet is helping them connect to the critical information they need – every day and in every emergency.

“We only add applications to the FirstNet App Catalog that are highly secure, high quality, and relevant to public safety. And we’re pleased that Guard911, SchoolGuard, CampusGuard911, and Hero911 are now Listed and available to FirstNet subscribers,” said Scott Agnew, Assistant Vice President, Product Marketing, FirstNet Program at AT&T. “These four mobile applications will bring public safety additional capabilities to reduce law enforcement notification time and subsequent response time while enhancing situational awareness.”

“Through our work with first responders, we heard their need for innovative applications to assist with their lifesaving mission. FirstNet is helping to address these needs, and we are pleased to welcome Guard911, SchoolGuard, CampusGuard911, and Hero911 to the FirstNet App Catalog,” said Mark Golaszewski, Executive Director of Technology and Innovation, First Responder Network Authority.

About Guard911

Guard911 was founded in 2013 by veteran law enforcement and technology experts looking to take a deep psychological approach to armed intruder emergencies. As a result, the Guard911, SchoolGuard, CampusGuard911, and Hero911 apps were designed with a single mission– to provide an early warning system for these emergency situations and save precious seconds that can mean the difference between life and death. Our goal is to notify and get officers on scene as quickly as possible to neutralize the threat and save lives.
