OUR NEWEST SOFTWARE RELEASE IS NOW AVAILABLE!

We are delighted to share highlights from our winter 2024 software release, which provides improvements and integrations to enhance your emergency management solutions and protect your community. An exciting new feature we’d like to spotlight is our Shooter Detection Systems Integration, an inbound integration with Shooter Detection Systems (SDS) that allows you to send alerts when a shot is fired and use Custom Event Triggers to manage actions.
