About Hero911
The Hero Network™ is a voluntary, nonprofit foundation of federal, state and local law enforcement officers. The Hero Network™ forms a Social Protection Network™ dedicated to reducing law enforcement response time to active school shooting incidents.
When installed, the app will alert officers of an active school shooting emergency. The alerts are sent to all on duty and off duty officers who are in close proximity to the incident.
The app alerts the officers, displays a mapped location of the school, reports how many uniformed and plain clothes officers have acknowledged the alert AND provides a timer from the onset of the initial alert.
The app is part of a system that simultaneously calls the appropriate 911 call center.
ALL federal, state and local law enforcement officers, including certified retirees, are encouraged to download the app and join the Hero Network™ today!
You must certify that you are a law enforcement officer during the signup process. Your signup will be fully vetted before your app will be activated.
Impersonating a law enforcement officer is punishable to the extent of a felony violation.
Please be aware that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Inferior
There are Breaking News apps that provide significantly better reports of noteworthy incidents almost immediately after. There are times I don’t receive updates until 12 hrs later if at all using this app. It’s fairly useless.

Worthless
This app hasn’t covered a shooting since September and doesn’t give adequate notification. There was a school shooting 3 hours prior to me writing this, no notification, not is it on their page when you click on the US icon at the bottom. I am a Fed LEO and a Guard member. The DoD pays for me to have the Dataminer First Alert app, it’s available to others. Far better sources with numerous setting options. I have on occasion received notifications prior to dispatched units arriving on scene. Everyone understand that timely notifications is paramount in active shooter incidents, Hero911 need to step up its game
