The Panic Button for Government Employees That Helps Protect Them Wherever They Work
From courthouses and municipal offices to field inspections and public-facing service desks, government employees face threats that are unpredictable and often unavoidable. Silent Beacon is a wearable emergency button that connects staff directly to 911, shares real-time GPS location, and sends instant alerts to supervisors with a single press.
“The Silent Beacon 2.0 has significantly enhanced our security protocols in the field, providing our staff with peace of mind in their day-to-day work. The device is wearable, discreet, and places an emergency call with the silent click of a button.”
