PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — After the Sandy Hook massacre, schools across the country took stock of their security measures and are considering what changes need to be made to ensure the safety of students. That includes keeping up with technology — like new apps which directly connect teachers with police.
Hero911 for cops and SchoolGuard for educators keep it simple: a teacher hits a panic button on his or her mobile device.
“Their app immediately dials 911, it simultaneously notifies every teacher’s smartphone within that school building, and it bursts the alert to every law enforcement officer within a ten-mile radius,” says Michael Snyders. He’s a former Illinois State Trooper who now heads the Social Protection Network Foundation, which is behind Hero911.
