The Hero911 Network is a voluntary nationwide network of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical service (EMS) personnel in the United States, who are connected through a dedicated mobile alert system.^[1] The alert system is designed to reduce notification time, and therefore response time, to active shooter and armed intruder emergencies. The network utilizes the Hero911 mobile app to instantaneously notify nearby first responders during these critical incidents.

The Hero911 Network is made up of tens of thousands of active first responders who have joined the Network by downloading the Hero911 mobile app. The primary goal of the network is to reduce emergency notification time through connected alert systems, to save more lives.

The Network works with the Guard911 family of emergency alert apps: Guard911, SchoolGuard, and CampusGuard911. ^[2] All three apps include a mobile panic button for users at schools, workplaces, religious facilities, and other institutions to report active threat situations. Alerts generated by these systems are transmitted instantaneously to members of the Hero911 Network in closest proximity to the incident.

The Hero911 Network was established by a team of law enforcement officers and technology experts to address the increasing frequency of active shooter incidents nationwide. The underlying philosophy is that reducing the time between an incident’s occurrence and law enforcement notification is critical to saving more lives.

According to its stated mission, the Hero911 Network aims to “save lives and safeguard communities from active shooter and armed intruder emergencies”^[3] by building and managing the communication infrastructure needed for rapid alert dissemination. Its objectives include: establishing a proactive volunteer network of first responders, reducing notification and subsequent response times during critical incidents, enhancing school and workplace safety through improved technology and communications, and increasing awareness and education regarding active shooter incidents.

Participating first responders install the Apple or Android version of the Hero911 mobile application on their mobile devices. The network is restricted to active and retired law enforcement officers, fire, and EMS professionals who meet defined eligibility criteria and are vetted via official credentials.

Members of the Hero911 Network also receive alerts as part of the Nationwide Situational Awareness Messaging System (NSAMS), which provides information for situational awareness of mass shootings nationwide.

The Hero911 Network and its related emergency alert apps have been featured in national and local media including Mashable^[4] and The Atlantic and in local news in cities including Pleasant Gap, Pennsylvania^[5]; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania^[6]; and St. Louis, Missouri.^[7] The network has also been supported and endorsed by American Cop^[8] and the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police.^[9]

The Hero911 Network has also been endorsed by prominent members of the law enforcement community including Frank DeAngelis, retired principal of Columbine High School and world renown author and trainer Lt. Dave Grossman.
