SaferWatch is revolutionizing the way people report crime, suspicious activity and online threats. SaferWatch was built to provide a higher level of safety for individuals and enhance security for organizations including schools, corporations, public venues, neighborhoods and communities. SaferWatch empowers users to easily report incidents as they see it happening or submit a tip at a later time. SaferWatch provides real-time two-way communication during emergency and non-emergency situations. Citizens, students, parents, teachers, administrators, security personnel and law enforcement can now seamlessly communicate all on the same secure network.
