GFPD Tips vs Freedom eCall

The GFPD Tips app provides citizens the ability to submit anonymous tips to the Grand Forks, ND Police Department. The app also displays agency crime alerts and other agency web and social media content.

Freedom eCall by Heritage MedCall: an add-on to the Sentry Freedom wireless emergency call system for notification on mobile iOS devices to staff members from resident alarms. Notifications can be sent to all mobile users or separated by floor or area. • Place a staff assist call directly from an alarm. • Call the resident using quick link to assigned phone number for resident. • Respond to alarms which notifies other mobile users and desktop application that you will be attending to call. • Finalize call and add a canned note or type in specific note about alarm. Mobile app uses location services to aid in providing staff notifications which will cause some additional battery usage. Freedom eCall is not a stand-alone application and will only work when on the same local WIFI network.
