We were able to see first hand the benefits this application could have on the safety of our students in schools. My students were so impressed by his experience and qualifications. We thank him for volunteering his time to expose us to the possibilities ahead! ### 5/5 — Great Resource! *2022-01-04, version 4.00* I have been a teacher for 10+ years and this is the first time I have been introduced to this app! What a great way to inform staff of a threat or emergency at their building in a quick and efficient way! ### 5/5 — Teacher at Grace Christian CDC *2022-01-04, version 4.00* I absolutely love this app!!!! Amanda ### 5/5 — Awesome & Secure App! *2021-11-16, version 3.70* Mr. Jim is one of the finest people that I know. He’s a fine Christian person with a wonderful giving attitude. I love to hear about his daily walks with Christ & how people like me brighten his day… it really demonstrates his wonderful Christian character. Mr. Jim is a wonderful person who will be very honest & upfront with you… which is what I like most about him. His app is great! It has helped us a couple of times since we’ve installed it in October of 2021… & it’s only November of 2021. If you’re thinking of a great app to add to your school, church, or government building & its employees to make yours & their life more safe… stop here & add this app! Call or text Mr. Jim & he’ll set you up! This app has all the bells & whistles! I am also available to vouch for Mr. Jim & Active Defender, at Mr. Jim’s request… just contact him & he’ll reach out to me… & he did not ask me to say that. Again, this is a great app!

It is user friendly, communicative, and should be used by all schools! As a second grade teacher, the ability to let my administrator know our location, the location of danger, and whether or not our students are safe is so important. This app makes it easy to do all! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2021-08-28, version 3.62* I’m a school administrator, and we just recently began utilizing the Active Defender app as part of our security protocols. We have been struggling with how to communicate with teachers and staff at various levels for intruder and other situations. This fits our need perfectly. In addition to being very affordable, it will provide our staff with the ability to instantly communicate emergency situations with the administrative team and local law enforcement. Customer service is amazing!! ### 5/5 — New version on my phone. *2021-08-10, version 3.62* Our school has just completed the refresher training on this new version of Active Defender. I love how they’ve continue to update it. Using it for fire drills I now can see clearly that it’s a drill. My favorite feature is the ability to be able to quickly report the status of whether I have all the children in my class or not. I’m also very happy that our local police department has adopted the use of this app. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and updates keep coming *2020-08-07, version 3.0* We use Active Defender at our school and we love it!

The support is also incredible! 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Passion for Safety *2023-10-19, version 5.17* 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! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Application *2023-09-21, version 5.17* 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. ### 5/5 — Peace of mind for our staff. *2023-09-18* 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. ### 5/5 — A much needed program for all school!!! *2023-08-23, version 5.12* Our school just started using this program, and so far, it has been a valuable tool. ### 5/5 — A much needed program for all school!!! *2023-08-17* Our school just started using this program, and so far, it has been a valuable tool. ### 5/5 — Excellent program!!! *2023-08-17, version 5.11* School administrator and this program is excellent for emergency alerts!
