ELGIN, Ill., Dec. 5, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- The bottom line is this: the faster the police response, the faster a critical situation is resolved. A local product, developed in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago and based off the proven approach fire alarms have been using for over 50 years, has won Product of the Year by Security Products Magazine for its ability to shave essential time off police notification and building wide broadcasts during on-site incidents.
Every second counts. While the average duration of an incident is only 12 minutes long, a recent FBI study reported that 69% end within 5 minutes. In most active incidents, the people responsible for security protocols or notifications are trapped, prevented, or delayed in communicating to police and the entire facility of an active incident.
BluePoint's ability to result in faster on-site response and facility-wide broadcasts
were key to its recent award recognition.
How BluePoint works:
- Anyone can activate a BluePoint Pull Station
- Instant notification through a UL-listed monitoring system
- Police immediately dispatched and notified of exact alert source, down to the detail of which pull station within the building was activated
- Immediate, facility-wide automated broadcast calmly alerts occupants to seek cover and initiate security protocol, using building PA/phone system
- Key stakeholders receive immediate notification of event notifications or email message
"Whether for our kids in school or us in the workplace, we shouldn't have to worry about our safety or the safety of our loved ones. Our vision is to have BluePoint Pull Stations next to the Red Fire Pull Stations in all buildings across the country. Faster response and building-wide awareness will, ultimately, save lives," says co-Founder John McNutt.
