Recently, Guardly announced that its Enterprise E911 solution for smartphones can now be used to enable faster, more effective response during active shooter incidents. The solution is geared towards large private enterprises and uses indoor positioning and mobile apps to detect active shooters earlier, locate people and shooters indoors and streamline communication between people around the shooter and a security operations centre. As indoor positioning is a more recent advancement in security industry technology, Guardly also announced the availability of a new white paper detailing how indoor positioning technologies can be used to improve active shooter incident communications and outcomes.

“Indoor positioning technologies offer security leaders a remarkable opportunity to improve situational awareness and response for a number of threats including active shooters; even more powerful than what GPS technologies have provided the industry over the last decade,” said Josh Sookman, Guardly Founder. “As pioneers in indoor positioning and mobile safety solutions, we are dedicated to demonstrating how these technologies can be used to drive better incident outcomes.”
