SchoolGuard
If you worry that our beloved country and our children are increasingly under attack, you are right. The violence inflicted upon our children in our schools is unthinkable, yet school shootings are happening at an alarming rate. The only true defense against this threat is to reduce law enforcement notification time and response time to these incidents. According to homeland security, it takes minutes for a 911 call to be processed and first responders dispatched, and 4-18 minutes for a first responder to be on the scene and act. SchoolGuard active shooter alert app shortens these notification and response times and greatly improves the chance of saving lives, with the touch of a smartphone screen. No other emergency alert app in the country gives you a network of over 65,000 federal, state, and local Hero911® first responders who can be there faster than those dispatched through 911 and the precious seconds needed.

Hero911
One of the biggest ways we can reduce the impact of deadly events is by improving officer response time and getting the word out more quickly. Designed for police officers and law enforcement professionals, this free app proactively alerts officers when school shootings are happening in their local area. Provides a low-key push message for situational awareness to an active shooter incident nationwide so users can refer to appropriate media. When installed, the app will alert officers of an active school shooting emergency. The alerts are sent to all on-duty and off-duty officers who are in close proximity to the incident. The app alerts the officers, displays a mapped location of the school, reports how many uniformed and plain clothes officers have acknowledged the alert, and provides a timer from the onset of the initial alert.

ALICE Training
ALICE Training is a widely adopted, effective method of active shooter response training. ALICE is the original civilian active shooter response training program delivered with a trauma-informed approach in an age- and ability-appropriate way. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. Alert is your first notification of danger. Lockdown involves barricading the room and preparing to evacuate or counter if needed. Inform focuses on communicating the violent intruder’s location and direction in real-time. Counter entails creating noise, movement, distance, and distraction with the intent of reducing the shooter’s ability to shoot accurately; it is not fighting. Evacuation means removing yourself from the danger zone when safe to do so. ALICE Training provides tools to support school training plans, perform safety drills and exercises, and certify K-12 school staff.
