Real-time updates within the app allow personnel to share critical information, such as intruder movement or student safety status.

Approximately 70% of the island, including most of the tourist areas, is located inside gated communities. However, the town maintains several public beach access points, including one for the exclusive use of town residents, who have approved several multimillion-dollar land-buying bond referendums to control commercial growth. Hilton head island offers an unusual number of cultural opportunities for a community its size, including plays at the arts center of coastal carolina, the 120-member full chorus of the hilton head choral society, the hilton head symphony orchestra, an annual outdoor, tented wine tasting event on the east coast, and several other annual community festivals.
