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 and armed intruder incidents with immediate emergency help in the palm of their hands. With the single touch of a button on a smartphone screen, these apps significantly reduce law enforcement notification time which reduces subsequent response time, the only way to save lives in an armed intruder emergency.
