Active Shooter Alert Details
‘
Upon activation of an active threat alert, the LockNow Safety App delivers a loud alarm and detailed notification to all users. The alert pinpoints the threat’s location on campus, helping staff respond with clarity and speed. Real-time updates within the app allow personnel to share critical information, such as intruder movement or student safety status. The app allows designated staff members to trigger an active shooter alert the moment a threat is identified, significantly speeding up the response process. Its simple, stress-friendly design ensures it can be used effectively even when user abilities are strained during high-pressure events.
