  • SaferWatch is a web and mobile-based security system that allows users to report an emergency directly to onsite security and law enforcement through a mobile panic button.

  • Go to Download Saferwatch or visit the Apple or Google Play store. Sign up for your free account in the app as a registered user. A registered user will need a work email address to join.

    • Lockdown Emergency
    • Medical Emergency
  • Only use SaferWatch panic buttons during emergency situations which require emergency first responders.

  • No. SaferWatch is not intended to replace or supplant dialing 911, but rather augment emergency communications.

  • SaferWatch does not provide or grant access to your location to any organization, first responder agency or any other third party unless you voluntarily report an emergency or incident on the SaferWatch App.

  • SaferWatch works with either cellular phone service or a Wi-Fi connection.

  • Caller interview - When you call 911, you are asked a series of general questions such as, Who are you? What is your address? What is your emergency? With the SaferWatch App, all of that information is instantly sent to 911, saving critical minutes in an emergency response.

    Call transfer errors - Sometimes, when you call 911, the call is misrouted to the wrong 911 canter and must be transferred to the correct 911 center in order for the call to be dispatched.  With the SaferWatch App, the call for help is automatically and immediately sent to the correct 911 centers the first time.

  • Accounts are customizable, but typically the following groups are notified:

    • ○911 centers/Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs)
    • ○Local law enforcement
    • ○School Principals and administrators
    • ○District security
    • ○Onsite security
    • ○School Resource Officers
    • ○Depending on settings chosen: some teachers and other staff
  • Schools may print out the below poster for display in staff only areas of each school with the intention to increase adopted use of the app by school-based staff.  Areas such as staff lounges, mail rooms and copy rooms would be preferred to increase awareness.
