Seattle University Implements React Mobile Emergency Dispatch Console to Strengthen Campus Safety

React Mobile, a leading personal safety platform with a range of safety products for the enterprise, today announced that Seattle University, one of the top ranked universities in the Western United States serving more than 7,400 students, has implemented the React Dispatch Console, a software solution designed exclusively for companies, universities, or other professional organizations responsible for the safety of their employees or private community. The React Dispatch Console helps corporate security professionals quickly identify incidents, shorten response times, document events - and ensure the safety of everyone under their protection.

"This install represents a significant milestone for our organization as it's the first U.S. customer to fully-integrate our entire safety platform, including the React Mobile App, the React Sidekick wearable device, and the React Dispatch Console," said Robb Monkman, Founder and CEO of React Mobile. "The React Dispatch Console will serve as a hub for the university's emergency dispatch center, allowing them to quickly respond to React SOS (News - Alert) alerts, and to better understand the crisis situations that may arise."

The React Dispatch Console combines alert management, computer aided dispatch, and incident reporting in one central application for improved situational awareness and faster response times. The technology enables emergency dispatch centers to receive React SOS alerts around-the-clock, as well as the ability to immediately identify the person in distress - and their exact location.

React SOS alerts are issued by individuals using a mobile panic button, called the React Sidekick, which pairs with the React Mobile safety app via LE Bluetooth. With a single click of the Sidekick, users can activate the app and issue an SOS alert for immediate emergency assistance, even when their phone screen is locked or their phone is out of reach.

GPS-enabled maps allow safety personnel to visualize where incidents are occurring in real-time, enabling quicker response and greater visibility during critical events. Once incidents have been idenified, responded to, and documented, the React Dispatch Console's advanced analytics also help security professionals identify location-specific incident trends or patterns, strengthening preventive safety measures.

"Our use of the React Dispatch Console will allow us to capture more detailed intelligence on the safety of our students," said Craig Birklid, Director of Public Safety for Seattle University. "We can use this information to not only respond more quickly to safety concerns, but to be more proactive in our overall safety efforts."

React Mobile is providing Seattle University with fully-customized branded apps, Dispatch Console, and React Sidekick panic buttons with the university's name, colors, logo and user interface customizations.
