The number of active shooters in our schools is increasing at an alarming rate. The only true defense against this threat is to reduce law enforcement response time to these incidents. On average, it takes first responders 18 minutes to arrive at an active shooter incident, according to Homeland Security.

How It Works
The SchoolGuard® app technology is simple and powerful. Teachers and staff download the app to their mobile phones. In the event of an active shooting, a teacher presses the panic button provided in the app. An alert is immediately sent to the mobile phones of all federal, state and local law enforcement officers, ON and OFF duty, in close proximity to the school.
The app simultaneously speed dials 911 and connects the teacher to emergency services. All other staff and teachers in the school with the app installed are also immediately alerted of the shooting, and a map of the location of the initial alert is displayed on their mobile phones. The map provides awareness to staff and teachers, which allows them to react accordingly.
