Schools looking for an application that helps reduce law enforcement response
About Hero911
One of the biggest ways we can reduce the impact of deadly events is by improving officer response time and getting the word out more quickly. Designed for police officers and law enforcement professionals, this free app proactively alerts officers when school shootings are happening in their local area. Provides a low-key push message for situational awareness to an active shooter incident nationwide so users can refer to appropriate media. When installed, the app will alert officers of an active school shooting emergency. The alerts are sent to all on-duty and off-duty officers who are in close proximity to the incident. The app alerts the officers, displays a mapped location of the school, reports how many uniformed and plain clothes officers have acknowledged the alert, and provides a timer from the onset of the initial alert.
