Hero911 Description
We can reduce the impact on the community of deadly events by improving the response time of officers and spreading the word more quickly. This free app alerts police officers and other law enforcement professionals when school shootings occur in their locality. This app sends out a low-key message to alert users to an active shooter situation in their area. Users can then refer to the appropriate media. The app alerts officers to an active school shooting situation when installed. The alerts will be sent to all officers, both on duty and off duty, who are within close proximity of the incident. The app notifies the officers and displays a map of the school. It also reports how many uniformed officers and plain clothes officers acknowledged the alert.
