We believe your employees shouldn't feel alone when they need help. We understand how scary it can feel to worry about employee safety, which is why we have helped customers in 45 states and three countries solve this problem.

That way, when you raise an alert, your location will be available in the CRS Notify alert room.The CRS Notify location services allow recipients of the alerts to know your location. Knowing your location helps responders reach you quickly during the alert event to aid with assistance. For critical emergencies, initiate one of the alert panic buttons set by your organization to call E911. When activated, the CRS Notify application will insert your location information as well as an E911 request into the alert room so that desktop users of the application can confirm the placing of yourE911 call. CRS Notify also alerts other individuals within your organization, getting you immediate assistance when every second counts. For lower-severity issues not requiring an E911 action, you can set alerts that are an internal notification to specific groups within your web control panel. Internal alerts allow you to notify specific people within your organization that assistance is needed, but does not require emergency responders.

LifeSpot is a safety and security app designed to increase the odds of survival and reduce emergency response times during an active shooter or active threat event. At the initiation of an alert, all participating users — including emergency responders — are immediately notified of the threat via push notification. Through mapping, users are able to view their current position relative to the approximate location of the threat, which can inform their decision to either "flee" or "fortify."  Users can also choose to mark a serious injury, and this information is relayed to emergency responders to expedite medical attention. In addition, users and emergency responders are able to establish real-time communication via LifeSpot's chatting functionality. Once an emergency responder receives the alert, they can choose to respond to the event with the simple tap of a button. This decision to respond is then sent to all other users, along with the responder's ETA. Simple, effective, lifesaving!
