Active Shooter Alert Details
‘
When an active threat alert is sent, users receive the alert with an alarm to ensure they receive the critical information. The notification identifies the location of the threat on your campus, allowing immediate situational awareness for all school personnel. With the app, authorized staff can immediately activate an active shooter alert as soon as danger is detected, helping responders act much faster. Its streamlined interface is intentionally built for crisis moments when user performance may be reduced. This alert enables swift decision-making based on where the intruder is located and what the safest course of action is for staff and students. Ongoing internal communication within the app allows everyone to stay informed about intruder movement, missing students, or class lockdowns. Providing the attacker’s location without using location services is unique to the LockNow Safety App — customized for the specific layout of your facility.
