Peace of Mind

As an administrator AD gives me a peace of mind that as a campus we will have clear and quick communication in the event of an emergency. The support is also incredible! 5 stars!

Passion for Safety

We have been using Active Defender at our school for a couple of years now. We have our staff drill on it every month to reinforce their muscle memory. Though we haven’t had to use it in an actual emergency, I have no doubt our staff is well prepared should the need arise. The staff at Active Defender is extremely passionate about safety and are always quick to respond any time we have ever had to reach out to them. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic Application

I’m an SRO and our school of over 1100 students uses this application and it is so great for minute to minute communication about any emergencies at our campus. 100% satisfied, exceeded my expectations.

Peace of mind for our staff.

Our staff really appreciates how Active Defender allows them to communicate in an emergency. Making sure all the teachers have the right information so that they can always make the right decision provides peace of mind only to me but to the staff. I also believe the anonymous reporting is going to be a game changer for us.
