In Miami, LockNow Safety provides schools with the ability to act without delay when a threat arises. Our panic button feature allows any staff member to instantly notify the entire campus of an intruder, ensuring no time is lost. Developed through years of experience and cross-sector collaboration, the LockNow Safety App addresses the communication gaps that have proven deadly in past school emergencies. The key to a swift response is making sure everyone knows — immediately.

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.
